Crown’s anisotropy of a tree and scattering the signals of navigation satellites frequency band L1

Abstract

The model of interaction of signals from navigation satellites with the tree crown is considered. The contribution of the anisotropy of the dielectric constant to the cross section of radio wave scattering due to the orientational ordering of the branches is shown. The calculation of the scattering cross sections for small and large elements is presented. The tensor of orientational ordering of tree branches with division into tiers differing in the size and orientation of elements is introduced. Test measurements of navigation satellite signals passed through the crowns of spruce trees were carried out.
