Radar images of rough surface scattering comparison of numerical and analytical models.

Rough surface scattering theories are investigated through analysis of radar images. Backscatter results from 10 GHz to 14 GHz under tapered wave illumination are considered for one-dimension (1D) random rough surface realizations which satisfy an impedance boundary condition. Back-projection tomogr...
