Temporal Characteristics of P-Band Tomographic Radar Backscatter of a Boreal Forest
Temporal variations in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter over forests are of concern for any SAR mission with the goal of estimating forest parameters from SAR data. In this article, a densely sampled, two-year long time series of P-band (420 to

Estimating Endmember Backscattering Coefficients Within the Mixed Pixels Based on the Microwave Backscattering Contribution Decomposition Model [PDF]
The complexity of land types and the limited spatial resolution of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery have led to widespread mixed-pixel contamination in radar backscatter images.

The differential propagation phase (ΦDP) of X-band dual-polarization weather radar (including X-band dual-polarization phased-array weather radar, X-PAR) is important for estimating precipitation and classifying hydrometeors.

Radar-Enabled Ambient Backscatter Communications
In this work, we exploit the radar clutter (i.e., the ensemble of echoes generated by the terrain and/or the surrounding objects in response to the signal emitted by a radar transmitter) as a carrier signal to enable an ambient backscatter communication from a source (tag) to a destination (reader).

New Features of Bragg and Non-Polarized Radar Backscattering from Film Slicks on the Sea Surface
Suppression of radar backscattering from the sea surface has been studied in field experiments with surfactant films carried out from an Oceanographic Platform on the Black Sea and from onboard a research vessel on the Gorky Water Reservoir using an X-C ...

A comparison of satellite scintillation measurements with HF radar backscatter characteristics [PDF]
We examine the correspondence between high latitude ionospheric scintillation measurements made at 250MHz with the occurrence of 10MHz HF coherent radar backscatter, on 13 and 14 December 2002.

Initial backscatter occurrence statistics from the CUTLASS HF radars [PDF]
A statistical study of the occurrence of ground and ionospheric backscatter within the fields-of-view of the CUTLASS HF radars, at an operating frequency of 10 MHz, during the first 20 months of operation has been undertaken.

A comparison of overshoot modelling with observations of polar mesospheric summer echoes at radar frequencies of 56 and 224 MHz [PDF]
We have compared radar observations of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) modulated by artificial electron heating, at frequencies of 224 MHz (EISCAT VHF) and 56 MHz (MORRO). We have concentrated on 1 day of observation, lasting ~ 3.8 h.
