Abstract:
This report contains an ordered, indexed compilation of reflectance and radar cross-section data on target and background materials. The data consist of spectral reflectances in the optical specturm from 0.3 to 15 microns and normalized radar cross sections plotted as a function of aspect angle at millimeter wavelengths. When available, the experimental parameters associated with each curve are listed to provide the user with a description of the important experimental conditions. This compilation contains approximately 3000 curves from experimental studies conducted over the past three decades in various laboratories. A list of the documents from which the data were extracted is included. In addition expressions for bidirectional, directional, and total reflectance are defined and the relationships between them are derived. Since measured values of reflectance depend strongly upon instrument design, a derivation of reflectance is given for the various instruments used to obtain the optical data in this compilation.
