摘要

Abstract

The effect of ocean wave breaking as a non-Bragg mechanism on backscattering cross-section and modulation transfer functions (MTF) of radar was investigated based on Bragg resonance theory and parametric method. The result showed that the additional effect of wave breaking on backscattering cross-section is not more than 20% except for the small incident angle of VV polarized electromagnetic (e.m.) wave but is significant for HH polarized e.m. wave. Breaking waves lead to increase in the modulus of tilt modulation MTF and the larger the wind speed

the faster the increase. For large incident angle

the modulus of tilt modulation MTF with wave breaking decreases quickly with incident angle of HH polarization and approach to that without wave breaking for VV polarization. The hydrodynamic MTF increases 30%–60% when considering wave breaking and the increase is larger for HH polarization than for VV polarization.
