Abstract
A FMCW polarimetric imaging radar system has been successfully designed and developed at the Multimedia University, Malaysia. Upon completion, a course of controlled testing and experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the radar. The validity of the imaging was confirmed by running tests in the laboratory which extended to the field measurements. Polarimetric images have been produced and shown virtual imaging of the target This radar system may be useful and necessary for future sensor design and space technology development.
