Abstract :
Based on the sea power spectrum, a fractal model of equilibrium gravity waves is founded. The analytical closed-form formulation of the scattering coefficient is also presented. Then the fractal dimension of the backscattered wave is extracted by the box-counting technique, and its relation with the parameters of the sea surface and radar system are discussed. The results obtained are useful for target detection on the rough sea surface and remote sensing
