Determination of the Lunar Ground Properties with Polarimetric Radars

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We present an analytical solution to the problem of determining a complex dielectric permittivity of ground based on bistatic Moon location results for the case where the measured values are the moduli of reflection coefficients of radio waves for vertical and horizontal polarizations and the difference in their phases.
