  • Abstract
    The model of soil surface scattering is implemented in the paper. The ray tracing (RT) model is introduced to solve the soil scattering problem. The soil surface is characterized by the rms of its height distribution relating to wavelength and by the space correlation length of an extracted profile from this surface. The RT result is compared with Kirchhoff approximation (KA) result, and the result matches well.
