A description of land surfaces roughness is required to predict GNSS-R specular scattering. Here we consider roughness on three distinct length scales: a microwave roughness f1(x, y) with correlation lengths of ~ 10 centimeters, a coarse scale 30-meter planar topography f3(x,y) based on digital elevation model (DEM) data, and a fine scale topography f2(X,y) between these two length scales. The fine scale topography represents the length scales in which scattered waves can transition from coherence to partial coherence to incoherence. In this paper, we investigate f2(x, y) using recent airborne lidar measurements of land surface heights. Using f = f1+ f2+ f3, fine scale partial coherent FPCN and FPCP models are applied to predict bistatic scattering coefficients near the specular direction for 30m surface area. Here “fine scale” means the fine scale topography of f2(x, y) is included. The model uses complex electric field summation and Monte Carlo simulations within a large area. For non-overlapping large areas, we use intensity summations as in radiative transfer theory. We consider a fine scale partial coherent numerical model (FPCN) that applies numerical integration to the Kirchhoff integral using 2 cm discretization. The fine scale partial coherent patch model (FPCP) uses planar patches o fL size, where L is less than the correlation length of f2. Numerical illustrations show that the results of the FPCN and FPCP are in good agreement with each other. Comparisons are also made with geometric optics model (GO) with and without the attenuation factor of microwave roughness.","PeriodicalId":152047,"journal":{"name":"2021 XXXIVth General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI GASS)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132866193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An inversion procedure based on the representation of the waveguide-air section-waveguide section as a T junction is employed. It is also shown that the absence of contact of the sample under test and the waveguide determines the leakage of electric fields which invalidate the inversion procedure.

The aperture-to-aperture scheme is modeled by S-parameters of three-port network, and validated with rigorously theory analysis and experiment measurements, which is perfect for the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer.","PeriodicalId":152047,"journal":{"name":"2021 XXXIVth General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI GASS)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133751514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike most existent laser-warning methods, which detect laser beams based on their intensity and monochromaticity, the proposed approach uses a high degree of coherence as the distinguishing property of laser radiation. Further, in contrast to previously considered coherence detection systems, based on amplitude interferometry (AI), we propose to utilize intensity interferometry (II), pioneered by Hanbury Brown and Twiss and originally applied to thermal radiation sources, but here generalized to coexisting high- and low-coherence radiation. In this contribution we concentrate on a possible application of the proposed system in detection of off-axis laser beam radiation scattered on atmospheric medium particles (water droplets and aerosols, especially dust). A particular design, which may operate in the visible and infrared regions, utilizes a small array of photodetectors (such as PIN photodiodes) and electronic correlator circuits identifying correlations in photocurrent fluctuations of neighboring detectors. It is shown that the normalized cross-correlation coefficients will be significant, even in the presence of a strong incoherent (e.g., solar radiation) background, provided the coherent radiation degeneracy parameter (number of photoelectrons generated by the detector during the coherence-time interval) exceeds the ratio of the background to signal intensities. This condition, which should not be difficult to achieve in realistic situations, ensures that the coherent signal is larger than the shot noise due to the background.","PeriodicalId":152047,"journal":{"name":"2021 XXXIVth General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI GASS)","volume":"717 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133817335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
