Abstract :
A new approach for modeling the vegetation leaves in the X-band is presented. Here, as an example a corn leaf is considered, where it is assumed to be a superposition of a cylindrical dielectric post and a very thin dielectric sheet. We determine the complex dielectric constant by a simulation model from measured S-parameters.
