Nach positiver Absolvierung der Lehrveranstaltung sind Studierende in der Lage (i) die Messprinzipien von aktiven und passiven Mikrowellensensoren mit Hilfe physikalischer Modellen zu beschreiben und (ii) den Informationsgehalt von Mikrowellenmessungen interpretieren.

• Electromagnetic Waves
• Microwave Sensors
• Dielectric Properties of Natural Media
• Physical Mechanisms of Scattering
• Physical Mechanisms of Emission
• SAR Interferometry

The lecture follows the available script, which is also suitable for self study. The following teaching methods are used:

• On-line lectures with slides and interactive questions
• Selected derivations are explained in videos
• TUWEL quizzes to recap self study material

.

The performance of the students is assessed via an oral exam.

A script is available from TU Verlag: http://shop.tuverlag.at/de/tu-wien-skripten/inst-department-geodaesie-geoinformation

It is assumed that students are familiar with (i) electromagnetic wave- and radiative transfer theory and (ii) basic remote sensing techniques and applications.
