The report describes an experimental equipment and procedure based on conventional methods in a form well-suited for laboratory measurements without expensive specialized components of the phase as well as amplitude of backscattered fields of smaller, resonant-region models on simulated free-space scattering ranges. Practical details that affect the ease of measurement and accuracy are emphasized. Simple methods of probing the incident fields over the model space are discussed, and sample results are presented.

Our planet is nowadays continuously monitored by powerful remote sensors operating in wide portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our capability of acquiring detailed information on the environment has been revolutionized by revealing its inner structure, morphology and dynamical changes. The way we now observe and study the evolution of the Earths status has even radically influenced our perception and conception of the world we live in. The aim of this book is to bring together contributions from experts to present new research results and prospects of the future developments in the area of geosciences and remote sensing, emerging research directions are discussed. The volume consists of twenty-six chapters, encompassing both theoretical aspects and application-oriented studies. An unfolding perspective on various current trends in this extremely rich area is offered. The book chapters can be categorized along different perspectives, among others, use of active or passive sensors, employed technologies and configurations, considered scenario on the Earth, scientific research area involved in the studies.
