1. Penetration of Radar Signal
► Radar signals are able to penetrate some solid features, e.g. soil surface and vegetative covers

1. Penetration of Radar Signal
► Skin depth - the depth to which the strength of a signal is reduced to 1/e (approx. 37%) of its surface magnitude - skin depth increases with wavelength, absence of moisture, surface roughness, and depression angle

2. Polarization
► HH image - radar transmits horizontally polarized signals and receives the horizontally polarized return signal
► HV image - radar transmits horizontally polarized signals but receives vertically polarized signals

2. Polarization
► Most radar produce HH images, some are designed to produce both. There are also VH and VV images

2. Polarization
► Depolarization - the horizontally polarized microwave energy is changed into vertically polarized energy
- depolarizers on the ground appear brighter on HV image
- rough surface and inhomogeneous subsurface are depolarizers

3. Synthetic Aperture Radar Systems (SAR)
► Real aperture SLAR system - the oldest, simplest, and least expensive of radar systems
► Synthetic Aperture Systems (SAR) - use an array of real antennas to synthesize the effect of a very long antenna

3. Synthetic Aperture Systems (SAR)
►Doppler effect - objects experience different frequency shifts in relation to their distances from the aircraft track
- objects at the leading edge of a beam reflect pulses with higher frequency than those at the trailing edge

3. Synthetic Aperture Systems (SAR)
► Doppler effect - the frequency shift allows the system to assign reflections to features at their correct positions

4. Reflectance
► Incidence angle - the angle between the axis of the incident radar signal and a perpendicular to the surface that the signal strikes
►Specular reflection ►Diffuse reflection►Corner reflection

4. Reflectance
►Specular reflection - when surface is smooth relative to the wavelength
- incident angle = reflection angle
![Page 18: Remote Sensing Microwave Image. 1. Penetration of Radar Signal ► ► Radar signals are able to penetrate some solid features, e.g. soil surface and vegetative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f335503460f94c4f227/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
4. Reflectance
► Diffuse reflection - when surface is rough relative to the wavelength
- the signal will be scattered equally all directions

4. Reflectance
► Corner reflection - a double reflection caused by adjacent smooth surface
- high reflectance appears as sparkles on the image
- tends to be proportionately larger than its real size

5. Radar Image Brightness
►Geometric characteristics - slope facing with respect to sensor determines signal returns
- surface roughness determines the type and amount of returns

5. Radar Image Brightness
► Electrical characteristics - Complex Dielectric Constant: water 80, most material 3-8 when dry
- moisture content is more significant than material themselves in increasing reflectance
- metal objects have high returns, e.g. metal bridges, silos

6. Natural Features Response
► Soil responses - top soil moisture gives high returns and
- limits penetration of radar waves
![Page 24: Remote Sensing Microwave Image. 1. Penetration of Radar Signal ► ► Radar signals are able to penetrate some solid features, e.g. soil surface and vegetative.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f335503460f94c4f227/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6. Natural Features Response
► Vegetation responses- when = plant size or plant is dense, the return is high
- high moisture content returns more energy
- HH polarized sensing penetrates vegetation more than HV

6. Natural Features Response
► Water and ice responses - smooth water yields specular reflectance with no return
- rough water surface returns with various strength
- ice age, surface roughness, snow cover etc. affect returns
