Terrain return

The ground-to-air terrain return at vertical or near-vertical incidence angles may be decomposed into two components: a mirror-like specular component and the scatter component produced by reradiation from the individual scatterers in the terrain (large isolated scatterers and area scatter).

The image record of the radar terrain return depends on the frequency, angle of incidence, and polarization of the signal. This dependence varies with the nature of the terrain surface; for example, if the terrain is covered by vegetation, a 35GHz
