摘要
It is one of the important methods to retrieve lunar regolith thickness using active and passive microwave techniques.The retrieval of lunar regolith thickness is based on microwave radiation transfer process simulation in the regolith media.The lunar regolith model is first introduced,and the features of the involved physical parameters are indicated thereafter,such as dielectric constants,surface roughness,particle size and thermal grads of the lunar regolith.The time delay and the migration of the radar echoes from the different interfaces is the key problem for active microwave measurement.And the simulation of the microwave radiative transfer in the regolith media is the important technique for the passive microwave measurement.The important parameters and the physical mechanism for the two measurements are also presented.
