Delay-Doppler analysis of bistatically reflected signals from the ocean surface: theory and application

TS Elfouhaily, DR Thompson… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a new stochastic theory for delay-Doppler mapping of the ocean surface for bistatic
scattering. This stochastic theory should complement nicely the previous theories for the …
