Abstract
The simulation of multi-layer rough surfaces is an indispensable step in passive radiation imaging, to which little attention has been paid so far. Based on the existing model of brightness temperature tracing described in our recent works, diffused transmission of the bottom layer is taken into account in the improved model which is presented in this paper. Then, a method called multi-layer brightness temperature tracing method (MBTT) is established to obtain the brightness temperature of a rough surface, and the applied range of the simulation in passive millimeter-wave imaging (PMMW) is extended.
