Bistatic Scattering Coefficients of a Tree Covered Mountainside at L Band

Bistatic scattering coefficients are computed for a site on a tree covered mountainside at L Band. The layer which consists of inclined trees is modeled by discrete scatterers consisting of trunks, branches, needles and leaves with varying orientations and dimensions. Due to the sloped nature of the terrain, azimuthal asymmetry occurs and this causes mixing of polarizations of the incident and sca...
