On characteristic polarization states in the cross-polarized radar channel

The characteristic polarization states in the cross-polarized radar channel for the monostatic reciprocal case is derived based on a Stokes vector formulation. The optimization procedure for the channel power leads to an eigenvalue equation which explains the characteristic polarization state proper...

More Information
Summary:The characteristic polarization states in the cross-polarized radar channel for the monostatic reciprocal case is derived based on a Stokes vector formulation. The optimization procedure for the channel power leads to an eigenvalue equation which explains the characteristic polarization state properties mathematically and physically. The method is illustrated for a hypothetical target.< >
