Compact polarimetric SAR interferometry
The authors discuss the role and performance of compact polarimetry in SAR interferometry. The considered SAR architecture transmits either a linearly polarised wave oriented at 45° or a circularly polarised one, and receives at horizontal and vertical polarisation.
