Abstract

In this paper, radar scattering coefficients of earth surfaces such as grass fields, rice fields and bare soil surfaces are measured by using an auto-mounted network analyzer-based scatterometer system. The scatterometer system is calibrated both the magnitude and phase in order to obtain the accurate Mueller matrices of the earth surfaces. Then the accurate scattering matrices can be obtain from the Mueller matrices. The degree of correlation $\alpha$ is also obtained by this procedure and is used to correct AirSAR data which are not calibrated with phase variations.
