Code 12.7: Coherent Emissivity of a Two-Layer Composite

Code Name: CohEmissivity_TwoLayer.m

Description: Code computes emissivity of a perfectly homogeneous layer (such as ice or oil) above another homogeneous medium, bounded by perfectly smooth planar surfaces.

Input Variables:

  ε2 = ε2 '- jε2 '':    Dielectric constant of middle layer (unitless)
  ε3 = ε3 '- jε3 '':    Dielectric constant of bottom layer (unitless)
  Θ1:    Incidence angle in air (degrees)
  f:    Frequency (GHz)
  d:    Layer thickness (m)

Output Products:

  ecoh v (Θ1):    v-polarized emissivity (unitless)
  ecoh h (Θ1):    h-polarized emissivity (unitless)

Book Reference: Section 12-12.1
