  • Abstract
    We investigate the impact of polarimetry and polarimetric effects on the Differential Interferometry (DinSAR) technique for the coherent backscattering reciprocal case, with the aim to obtain better accuracy and to extract additional information about the scatterer. Emphasis is given to the effects of Faraday and scatterer line-of-sight (LOS) rotations, and to the determination of the intrinsic scatterer scattering mechanism.
