Modeling of Electrophysical Properties of the Moon Ground

The paper presents a technique for constructing an electrophysical model of the upper layer of the the Moon soil. The model is based on the analysis of the results of laboratory measurements of the dielectric characteristics of the lunar soil samples delivered to Earth and the main aspects of the dielectrics theory. The simulation takes into account the dependence of the dielectric constant and the tangent the loss angle of the soil on its density and temperature, as well as on the frequency of the applied electromagnetic field. Since many bodies of the Solar System have a process similar to the Moon for the formation of the upper layer, the results of stady can be useful in planning radar experiments for future missions.
