Abstract:

With the advent of computational electromagnetics and increasing speed and power of computing, it is promising where modelling in microwave remote sensing can be pursued with more realistic physical configuration. This project focuses on new approaches in extending current basic computational electromagnetics to the application in microwave remote sensing as well as extension of modelling capability with computational flexibility to study scattering from scatterers of all types in the earth terrain. The outcomes are promising with the development of basic microwave remote sensing model for scattering study from a simper layer of earth medium with computational electromagnetics and new method in computational modeling of scattering from basic scatterers.
