Abstract
Recently, many analytical expressions of scattering fields of sea fractal surface with infinite conductivity were derived. In order to simulate multi-polarization SAR imaging of sea surface and consider the effects of polarization on remote sensing of sea surface, we derive the scattering fields from 2D sea fractal surface with finite conductivity illuminated by ellipse polarization wave at Kirchhoff approximation. Then we present the scattering matrix of this model and numerically simulate the bistatic radar cross section (RCS) of 2D sea fractal surface. It shows that the result of applying our model coincides with that of relevant literatures. Our work is divided into two parts. In the first part, we derive the scattering fields in Cartesian coordinates. And in the second part, we evaluate the scattering matrix of this model and then give the numerical results and discuss them.
