PolInSAR airborne principle verification experiment based on Ku-band multifunction radar system

With polarimetric techniques introduced into SAR interferometry, comprehensive information about vertical distribution and 2D distribution of scattering mechanisms with polarimetric characteristics can be achieved. As a result, polarization interferometric synthetic aperture radar can provide more accurate, rich data source for mapping, disaster monitoring, vegetation distribution, resource exploration etc. Ku-band Multifunction radar system built in the CAS key laboratory of microwave remote sensing provides a test bench for principle verification. In the recent airborne experiment, several system functions have been proved on this test bench. Effective data were obtained during experiments. Now, H and V channel data are imaging processed respectively using RD algorithm. From processed results, the polarization information of the target is obvious. Analyze the phase of each image of channel H and V.
