Abstract :
The commonly used planar phased array radar has a number of issues in making polarimetric measurements, including increase of beam width, sensitivity loss and polarization coupling. The Cylindrical Polarimetric Phased Array Radar (CPPAR) with commutating scan is proposed to avoid these deficiencies.
