Abstract :
In this paper the results of simultaneous and spatially coincident, dual-frequency (at C- and Ku-band), multi-polarization measurements will be represented, of bare soil and snow microwave reflective (radar backscattering coefficient) and emissive (brightness temperature) characteristics angular dependences at 5.6GHz and 15GHz.
