Abstract

The paper aimed to investigate interaction between electromagnetic wave and cereal parameters at column and row directions. S-band (center frequency 3.2GHz) and wheat had been selected as the research targets. During an entire wheat growth cycle, a series of data related to the interaction were collected for the analyses. Backscatter at row and column directions were analyzed as the function of the wheat temporal variations parameters. The research results show the dominated contribution determined the influence of wheat at row and column directions on radar backscatter. Moreover, a simple model has been presented to minimize the influence of column and row directions on radar backscatter. The research can be helpful to modeling and cereal monitoring by microwave remote sensing technology.
