Abstract :
In this paper C-, and Ku-band, dual frequency, multi-polarization, combined, short-pulse scatterometer-radiometer system is described, for short (from low altitude platform), middle (from vessel) and long (from aircraft) distance remote sensing applications for water surface, soil and land snow cover´s microwave reflective and emissive characteristics simultaneous and spatially coincident measurements.
