Hybrid Dual-Polarization Synthetic Aperture Radar
Compact polarimetry for a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system is reviewed. Compact polarimetry (CP) is intended to provide useful polarimetric image classifications while avoiding the disadvantages of space-based quadrature-polarimetric (quad-pol) SARs.

On the Gersgorin Theorem Applied To Radar Polarimetry [PDF]
This contribution is concerned with the mathematical formulation and theoretical background of the Ger‚sgorin theory in the context of Radar Polarimetry. Named after its founder Semian A. Ger‚sgorin the Ger‚sgorin theorem basically states that there are certain regions in the complex plane that can be derived from any n £ n complex matrix by rather ...
