Applications of SAR polarimetry
Apart from the SIR-C Mission, radar polarimetry has been limited to a number of experimental airborne systems.
Polarization Signatures
Because the incident wave can take on so many polarizations, and the scattering matrix consists of 4 complex numbers,
Polarization Synthesis
As described above, a polarimetric radar can be used to determine the target response or scattering matrix using two
