On Large Ground Station Antennas as Potential Radar Targets for Biomass

Cornelis G. M. van 't Klooster, Arnold van Ardenne

Radio-telescopes or ground-station antennas can, if pointed, act as a radar target with high radar cross-section (RCS). Space-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data confirmed it…
