Abstract

This paper reports an accurate numerical analysis of some technological solutions for embedded airborne radars in the P- and X-bands applied to remote sensing. The propagation analyzes are based on Floquet and transient simulations by taken into account the influence of an entire fuselage from a commercial plane and the vegetation electromagnetic characteristics, similar to Amazon rainforest, in order to reproduce a realistic situation.
