| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
Introduction to Microwave Remote Sensing offers an extensive overview for technically oriented undergraduates and graduate students. Following a brief summary of the field and a history of the use of microwaves, the book explores the physical properties of microwaves and the polarimetric properties of electromagnetic waves. It examines the interaction of microwaves with matter, analyzes passive atmospheric and passive surface measurements, and describes the operation of altimeters and scatterometers. The textbook concludes by explaining how high resolution images are created using radars, and how techniques of interferometry can be applied to both passive and active sensors.
