Electrostatic Potential Radiated by a Pulsating Charge in a Two-Electron Temperature Plasma
Henri, P.; Wattieaux, G.; Béghin, C. +2 more
Mutual impedance experiments have been developed to constrain the plasma bulk properties, such as density and temperature, of ionospheric and later space plasmas, through the electric coupling between an emitter and a receiver electric antennas. So far, the analytical modeling of such instruments has enabled to treat ionospheric plasmas, where cha…
CLUSIM: A Synthetic Aperture Radar Clutter Simulator for Planetary Exploration
Sánchez-Cano, B.; Witasse, O.; Orosei, R. +1 more
In this paper we present the CLUtter SIMulator (CLUSIM), a special program simulating radar side echoes from rough planetary surfaces using realistic topography data sets. A numerical model of realistic topography of the Martian surface, based on Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data, is developed. A specially developed computer routine for evaluation…
