Abstract

In microwave remote sensing applications, energy conservation and an accurate calculation of brightness temperature must be considered. So a dense sampling of points per free space wavelength is required. In this paper, the physics- based two-grid (PBTG) method and the banded matrix iterative approach (BMIA) canonical grid (CAG) combined with MoM were applied to calculate scattering problem of the lossy dielectric fractal rough surfaces. The speed is greatly quickened by the method and accurate results for brightness temperature calculations was given. Then, the advantages of fast method in accurate and speed were compared with MoM. At last, the bistatic scattering coefficient and brightness temperature of fractal rough surface is given.
