EE 443 Introduction to Remote Sensing and Imaging Applications

This course addresses the theory and principles of passive and active remote sensing at different frequencies. The course emphasis is on electromagnetic phenomena rather than image processing techniques for the remotely captured data. Topics include wave propagation and scattering from targets and natural surfaces, basic antenna systems, radiometry and the radar equation. Effects of different media and boundaries such as rough surfaces on wave characteristics (e.g. dispersion, reflection, refraction, attenuation) are discussed. Prerequisite: EE342
