Abstract :
Non-coherent radar backscattering from chaff clouds is studied, employing a polarimetric radar cross section. Two orthogonally polarimetric scattering cross sections are derived. Both mathematical analysis and measurements show that the depolarization phenomenon is remarkable in radar echo of chaff clouds.
