Abstract
In this paper preliminary results of smooth and waved water surface radar backscattering coefficient and brightness temperature angular dependences at 15 GHz are represented. The results were obtained by combined radar-radiometer system moving along a quarter circle shaped measuring platform of 7 m of radius.
