This research aims to develop a dual-polarized radar system to analyze backscatter based on wave polarization states.
Built a dual-polarized antenna and a four-channel data system for an airborne synthetic aperture radar.
Direct measurement of the scattering matrix elements for each pixel in radar images.
Data processing to synthesize combinations of transmit and receive antenna polarizations.
Bragg scattering closely matched the observed scattering from ocean and lava fields.
Urban areas modeled as two-bounce dielectric corner reflectors.
Forest scattering consisted of a two-bounce corner reflector term and a diffuse component from multiple scatter.
