Abstract :
Simulation results obtained by means of our polarimetric model for dielectric trihedral corner reflectors are presented in this paper. The model takes into account the dimensions of the reflecting surfaces, their dielectric properties and roughness, and evaluates contributions of coherent and diffuse scattering. The simulation has been carried out choosing values of input parameters able to describe an urban environment
