Abstract

In a recent paper, Younis et al. propose an apparently interesting methodology for the computation of the interference received by a spaceborne passive sensor from terrestrial interferences. However, the paper seems to require some clarifications, as some of the conclusions are questionable. This comments paper aims at identifying the most outstanding issues of the publication.
