Abstract :
A method of establishing formulas for calculating brightness temperature of extended targets at microwave frequency is introduced in this paper. The formulas are obtained through the statistical process of a large amount of measured data. The formulas for concrete road, asphalt road, and crushed stone are presented, which are established by this method
