Abstract
Results from helicopter borne measurements using a multi-band frequency modulated radar profiler are presented. Comparisons are made between the tree height profiling responses in three different frequency bands (5, 14 and 35 GHz). The range response and its relationship to the foliage backscattering is modelled and volume related algorithms are discussed
