PALSAR L-band SAR will be affected by Faraday rotation. In this study, PALSAR system is briefly described, and the Freeman calibration method is considered for PALSAR calibration. However, this method requires the deployment of a minimum of one corner reflector (CR) for the calibration of each scene...
