Abstract

Signals of opportunity (SoOp) has the potential to offer cost-effective global remote sensing for land applications. Because of the complexity of SoOp scattering over land, comprehensive bistatic scattering models and simulators can help demonstrate its feasibility. To investigate this potential, we have developed a generalized, fully polarimetric forward model: the SoOp Coherent Bistatic Scattering (SCoBi) model. We have also developed a simulator framework, employing the SCoBi model to create an analysis environment for a community of researchers, scientists, and users with little or no electromagnetic background. We aim to enable studying and analyzing new SoOp methods with varying configurations; determining the optimal cases for specific missions; and generating, visualizing, and analyzing test data with the help of SCoBi.
