Simulating bistatic scatter from surfaces covered with vegetation P. Ferrazzoli, L. Guerriero, and D. Solimini
Abstract Many experimental and theoretical studies have shown that the use of active systems for monitoring plant biomass suffers from saturation problems. The possibility of overcoming this limit by considering a bistatic configuration is theoretically analyzed for the case of sunflower fields. An electromagnetic model, already developed and validated on active and passive data, has been modified to yield the Index Terms— Bistatic SAR. Scattering model. Plant biomass.
