| Description | A simplified model of the Venus atmosphere is developed providing the loss factor profile of the atmosphere. With this profile the atmospheric attenuation as it depends upon the incidence angle is calculated for wavelengths between 2 cm and 20 cm. It is shown that the signal-to-noise ratios for a real aperture radar, a synthetic aperture radar, and communication links between a satellite and a landing probe achieve maximum values by the proper choice of the wavelengths. Furthermore, it turns out that the wavelength dependence is less crucial for the synthetic aperture radar compared to the other cases. |
