Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar [PDF]
This open access book focuses on the practical application of electromagnetic polarimetry principles in Earth remote sensing with an educational purpose. In the last decade, the operations from fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar such as the Japanese ALOS/PalSAR, the Canadian Radarsat-2 and the German TerraSAR-X and their easy data access for

Interferometric polarimetric synthetic aperture radar system
Polarimetric radar interferometry is a compound technique that has shown the ability to extract geophysical parameters from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and its usefulness in terrain classification and surface change detection. A three-dimensional image can be constructed by coherence integrating the backscatter data over the measured ...

A C-Band Fully Polarimetric Automotive Synthetic Aperture Radar [PDF]
Due to the rapid increase in 76 GHz automotive spectrum use in recent years, wireless interference is becoming a legitimate area of concern. However, the recent rise in interest of automated vehicles (AVs) has also spurred new growth and adoption of low frequency vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications in and around the 5.8 GHz unlicensed bands ...

Uav-Based Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar for Mine Detection [PDF]
In this contribution a polarimetric side-looking synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mounted on a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is presented and discussed with respect to the detection and localization of landmines. As an example for an anti-personal mine a PFM-1 which contains an elongated aluminium rod was considered.

Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Data and the Complex Wishart Distribution [PDF]
When working with multi-look fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data an appropriate way of representing the back-scattered signal consists of the so-callad covariance matrix. for each pixel this is a 3×3 Hermifian, positive definite matrix which follows a complex Wishart distribution.
