Description:Use of a bistatic reflectometry technique which employs signals of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) scattered off the Earth surface opened new opportunities in the environmental remote sensing. At the same time, similar approach can be implemented with non-GNSS signals. Recently, it was demonstrated that other signals of opportunity can be used, such as produced by communication satellites in K-, X-, S- at VHF bands and even by the Sun. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of a possible use of a noise-like broadband radio signal emitted by a point source for measuring reflectivity properties of Earth’s surface.
