Abstract :
Systematic characterization of scattering behavior of natural and man-made rough surfaces is required in many radar applications. In general, the overall scattering response of such surfaces is composed of surface and volume scattering components. In this paper integral equation method (IEM) is outlined to work out the surface scattering and the radiative transfer theory is applied to model the volume scattering.
