| Popis: | This is the first of four articles describing a comprehensive series of radar maps of the entire visible lunar hemisphere carried out at wavelengths of 3.8 and 70 cm and analyzing the echoes in both orthogonal senses of circular polarization. In this paper, the basic techniques of delay-Doppler mapping by radar are developed, and the particular steps employed in mapping the moon are outlined. Succeeding articles present the results obtained and discuss the way in which these results relate to other, nonradar measurements as well as to the actual lunar surface properties. |
