Abstract :
This paper presents a remote sensing method for the measurement of inshore wave energy, which can be used for the investigation of some regional coast for building wave power plants and monitoring the waves near dykes. It is designed to operate at UHF channel, and it is a portable and low power system, it can measure the movement of sea surface simultaneously without probing into the water. The field test on the beach of Zhujiajian Island proved that the system can be used successfully.
