Backscatter Coefficient Estimation Using Tapers with Gaps [PDF]
Ultrasonic Imaging, 2014 When using the backscatter coefficient (BSC) to estimate quantitative ultrasound parameters such as the effective scatterer diameter (ESD) and the effective acoustic concentration (EAC), it is necessary to assume that the interrogated medium contains diffuse scatterers.

A MODIFIED TWO-SCALE MICROWAVE SCATTERING MODEL FOR A GAUSSIAN-DISTRIBUTED CONDUCTING ROUGH SURFACE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 A modified two-scale microwave scattering model (MTSM) was presented to describe the scattering coefficient of natural rough surface in this paper. In the model, the surface roughness was assumed to be Gaussian so that the surface height z(x, y) can be ...
