Preliminary study on the separation of specular reflection and backscattering components using synthetic aperture beamforming

ConclusionA new technique for separation of the reflection and backscattering components using synthetic aperture beamforming with a transmit beam featuring a large focal distance was proposed. The technique demonstrated a partial separation of the reflection and backscattering components, which potentially may be used to estimate surface roughness.
