Lorsque le milieu rencontré par l'onde incidente n'est pas homogène ou est un mélange de matériaux aux propriétés diélectriques diverses, une partie de l'onde transmise dans ce milieu sera diffusée par ses diverses composantes. La diffusion résultante viendra de l'intérieur du volume de ce milieu et sera appelée diffusion volumique, ce qui est cas des surfaces à couvert végétal et forestier. 4, record 1, French, - onde%20incidente
