While investigating the scattering from vegetation canopy it is necessary to know the scattering-law of electromagnetic waves on some single elements. Some principal problems that arise while studing the electromagnetic wave scattering from single leaf have been formulated in the papers [1,21. Two problems can be considered here: the influence of the moisture content and the shape of the leaf upon the scattering characteristic.This study represents some results of the experimental investigation of diffraction properties of vegetation canopy and its elements. These experimental components of the study included measurements of back-scattering cross sections (BCS), distribution of electromagnetic field in the near zone and radiation pattern. The measurement has been carried out in the millimeter range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
