This paper discusses the potential of L-band Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) and C-band Sentinel-1 radar data for retrieving soil parameters over cereal fields. For this purpose, multi-incidence, multi-polarization dual-frequency satellite were acquired simultaneously with in situ measurements collected a semiarid area, Merguellil Plain (central Tunisia). The L- signal sensitivity ...

We have used admittance spectroscopy and deep-level transient spectroscopy to characterize electronic properties of Si/Si12x2yGexCy heterostructures. Band offsets measured by admittance spectroscopy for compressively strained Si/Si12x2yGexCy heterojunctions indicate that incorporation of C into Si12x2yGexCy lowers both the valenceand conduction-band edges compared to those in Si12xGex by an ave...

RESUME For sea ice monitoring by means of radar remote sensing, systems operating at C-band are regarded as an optimal choice. In a number of studies that have been published since the early 90s it was found, however, that sea ice types can be better discriminated at L-band than at C-band provided that more than one polarization is available. For special tasks, such as imaging sea ice ridges an...
