polarimetric radar
This book presents the principles central to understanding
polarized wave transmission, scattering, and reception in
communication systems and polarimetric and non-polarimetric radar.
Readers gain new insight into the methods for remotely gathering
data about the earth's surface and atmosphere with polarimetric
synthetic-aperture radar and polarimetric interferometry, including
the changes that take place with seasons, floods, earthquakes, and
other natural phenomena. In particular, with the book's focus on
polarimetric radars, readers discover how to exploit the many
special features of these systems, which provide the maximum amount
of information that can be obtained remotely with radar.
Introductory-level coverage of electromagnetic wave propagation,
antennas, radar and synthetic aperture radar, probability and
random processes, and radar interferometry serves as a foundation
for advancing to more complex material. A more advanced
mathematical and technical treatment enables readers to fully grasp
polarized wave transmission, propagation, and reception in
communication systems and polarimetric-radar remote sensing.
Readers will discover much new material in this text,
including:
* Distinguishing between coherently-measured and
incoherently-measured target matrices for power, recognizing that
the two matrix types are not equivalent in representing
targets
* Removing unpolarized components from the scattered wave and
deriving a target matrix for classification from the resulting
coherently-scattered wave
* Selecting an antenna polarization to maximize the contrast
between desired and undesired depolarizing targets
Problems ranging in complexity from introductory to challenging
are presented throughout the text.
Engineers will find this an ideal reference to help them fully
utilize the powerful capabilities of polarimetric radar. It will
also help agronomists, geographers, meteorologists, and other
scientists who use remotely obtained data about the earth to
evaluate procedures and better interpret the data. The book can
also be tailored to both undergraduate and graduate courses in
remote sensing, and recommendations are given for text material
suitable for such courses.
HAROLD MOTT, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at the University of Alabama. Dr. Mott has carried out polarimetric-radar research for NASA and NRL, and has consulted extensively with the Army Missile Command on radar environmental modeling. He is the author of Polarization in Antennas and Radar and Antennas for Radar and Communications: A Polarimetric Approach (both published by Wiley).
