Code 12.2: I2EM Rough Surface Emissivity

Code Name: Calc_Emiss_I2EMmodel.m

Description: Code computes the emissivity of a homogeneous medium with a rough surface characterized by either an exponential correlation function or a Gaussian correlation function.

Input Variables:

  ε = ε' - jε'':    Real part of dielectric constant of emitting medium (unitless)
  Θ:    Incidence angle (degrees)

Correlation function:
(1) Exponential
(2) Gaussian

  s:    rms height (m)
  l:    Correlation length (m)
  f:    Frequency (GHz)

Output Products:

  eh(Θ1):    h-polarized emissivity (unitless)
  ev(Θ1):    v-polarized emissivity (unitless)

Book Reference: Section 12-3.1
