Description for Remote Sensing with Imaging Radar
Paperback. This book develops the technology of radar imaging, and an understanding of scattering concepts, in a manner suitable to the mathematical background of most earth scientists. The approach allows for quick movement to the practical aspects of imaging. Series: Signals and Communication Technology. Num Pages: 361 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RB; RGW; TJFN; TQ; TTBM; UYT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 587.
This book is concerned with remote sensing based on the technology of imaging radar. It assumes no prior knowledge of radar on the part of the reader, commencing with a treatment of the essential concepts of microwave imaging and progressing through to the development of multipolarisation and interferometric radar, modes which underpin contemporary applications of the technology. The use of radar for imaging the earth’s surface and its resources is not recent. Aircraft-based microwave systems were operating in the 1960s, ahead of optical systems that image in the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum. Optical remote sensing was given ... Read more
