Book Description

The 138 papers contained in this volume present the newest and most sophisticated techniques, which have been developed in different but related fields of research from radar to medical and industrial imaging. Enormously extended areas of research are covered, they are however, related to each other from the view point of noise and clutter rejection. The interdisciplinary nature of the proceedings will make them of considerable interest to a broad readership. A selection of contents: Polarimetric SAR: Principles and Applications (F.T. Ulaby). Flow field characterization by NMR (O. Nalcioglu). Weibull clutter and its suppression (M. Sekine). Sessions: A. Noise and Clutter Properties. I. Application of the K-distribution to Radar Clutter (K.D. Ward). Sea CAS: Sea clutter acquisition system (J. Dunn-Rogers). Space and frequency correlation of multipath fading due to sea surface scattering and its reduction by diversity technique for low G/T mobile satellite communications (M. Yasunaga et al.). II. A study of land clutter spectrum (N. Li). Polarimetric measurement of the propagation characteristics of forest clutter (M.W. Whitt et al.). Remote Sensing. I.
