Remote sensing of earth terrain [PDF]
A mathematically rigorous and fully polarimetric radar clutter model used to evaluate the radar backscatter from various types of terrain clutter such as forested areas, vegetation canopies, snow covered terrains, or ice fields is presented.

Can GNSS reflectometry detect precipitation over oceans? [PDF]
For the first time, a rain signature in Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS‐R) observations is demonstrated. Based on the argument that the forward quasi‐specular scattering relies upon surface gravity waves with lengths larger than ...

This study presents a microwave‐activated composite integrating expanded graphite with α‐MnO2 nanowires, engineered to synergistically optimize dielectric and magnetic properties. The innovative microwave‐driven process enables rapid structural transformation, yielding ultrathin, scalable electromagnetic wave‐absorbing films.

Unambiguous signal reconstruction for GEO-LEO bistatic SAR with azimuth multichannel
Spaceborne bistatic multichannel synthetic aperture radar (MC-SAR) system employed inclined geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) transmitter and low-Earth-orbit (LEO) receiver can provide fine spatial resolution and a vast area of surveillance, which ...

Laser Terminals on CubeSats: Developments for Telecommunications and Quantum Links
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based laser communication is an emerging technology that is finding its way from research to industry. Compared to radio frequency (RF) systems, it has a more efficient size, weight, and power budget and, furthermore, is license free.

Near-Space Microwave Radar Remote Sensing: Potentials and Challenge Analysis
Near-space, defined as the region between 20 km and 100 km, offers many new capabilities that are not accessible to low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and airplanes, because it is above storm and not constrained by either the orbital mechanics of ...

SWOT Water Surface Elevation in Herbaceous Wetlands of Florida's Everglades
Abstract Observing water level variations in wetlands is important for tracking global water and carbon cycles. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission was launched to measure Earth's surface waters, but its performance in vegetated wetlands was unknown.

Beam Footprint Detection and Tracking for Non-cooperative Bistatic SAR [PDF]
In non-cooperative bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR), the position of transmitter’s beam footprint should be detected and tracked in real-time to perform beam synchronization.

Cosmic Rays and the Askaryan Effect Reveal Subsurface Structure and Buried Ice on the Moon
Abstract We present the first full‐wavelength numerical simulations of the electric field generated by cosmic ray impacts into the Moon. Billions of cosmic rays fall onto the Moon every year. Ultra‐high energy cosmic ray impacts produce secondary particle cascades within the regolith and subsequent coherent, wide‐bandwidth, linearly‐polarized radio ...
