Abstract

In the paper the concept of a polarimetric SAR performance a simultaneous full target backscattering matrix estimation is proposed. The block diagram of the system and signal processing algorithms are developed; main characteristics of the system are defined. Simultaneous backscattering matrix estimation implemented in the system allows avoiding errors existing in other systems.
SAR PHARUS [1], developed in FEL TNO, that performs pulse-to-pulse method of BSM estimation, and the project of radar COMESA jointly performed by IRCTR TUDelft and TUCSR [2] are used as prototypes.
