Abstract :
In this paper, we focus in the bistatic scattering coefficients of the sea surface, we study an asymptotic model, the Weighted Curvature Approximation (WCA) for a dielectric sea surface with Gaussian statistics and 2-D correlation function. The bistatic scattering coefficients obtained allow to compare the performance of WCA model with other asymptotic models such as SSA and TSM models.
