Abstract :
Millimeterwave radiometry finds increasing use in military and commercial applications. Sensing both polarizations generates more comprehensive pictures of scenes by allowing discrimination between metals and dielectrics, and estimating scatterer orientation. We describe modelling and measured data of polarimetric scenes at 94 GHz.
