Radio Propagation and Remote Sensing of the Environment

Explains the advantages and disadvantages of the two disciplines Analyzes techniques for solving inverse problems for remote sensing Discusses different uses of radiophysical instruments such as radar scatterometers, altimeters, and more Radio wave propagation and remote sensing by radiophysical methods are closely connected disciplines. This book develops the model descriptions of electromagnetic waves interacting with objects of the ionosphere, troposphere, ocean and land surface. It explains the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, presents realistic applications of these methods, and analyzes techniques for solving inverse problems for remote sensing applications. In addition, Radio Propagation and Remote Sensing of the Environment discusses different usages of radiophysical instruments such as radar scatterometers, altimeters, and microwave radiometers.
