Abstract :
The author describes a novel scheme of polarization measurement utilizing more than four antennas or photodetectors. In particular, he seeks configurations which possess the attractive features of conceptual and computational simplicity, robustness, and self-checking redundancy. Using a computationally convenient algorithm based on a six-port theory, digitized power meter indications are readily processed automatically to yield the desired polarimetric data
