Abstract
To find parameters of solid aerosols the use of double frequency radar is considered. The results of numerical simulation are presented on the base of rigorous solution of the scattering problem on dielectric sphere that permits to estimate the limits of the method application and influence of aerosol polydispersity. The development of the measurement bench, data of simulation and results of experimental study of polydisperse medium are considered on the example of sea-sand.

KEY WORDS: remote sensing, radar, radar cross-section, differential radar cross section
