Effect of Faraday rotation on L-band interferometric and polarimetric synthetic-aperture radar data
Electromagnetic waves traveling through the ionosphere undergo a Faraday rotation of the polarization vector, which modifies the polarization and phase characteristics of the electromagnetic signal. Using L-band ( = 24 cm), polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the shuttle imaging radar C (SIR-C) acquired in 1994, we simulate the effect of a change in the Faraday rotation angle ...
متن کاملCalibration of polarimetric SAR data subject to Faraday rotation using a Genetic algorithm
Recently, some spaceborne polarimetric synthetic aperture radars, such as TerraSAR X (Xband), RADARSAR-2 (C-band) and PALSAR (L-band), are available to measure a scattering matrix of terrain and polarimetric data analysis techniques are being developed for terrain classification, forest biomass and soil moisture estimations, etc. Thus polarimetric calibration is necessary to obtain the accurate...
متن کاملInitial Polarimetric Calibration of PALSAR
This paper discusses an initial polarimetric calibration of ALOS PALSAR. ALOS was launched on January 24, 2006. PALSAR, which is one of ALOS three sensors, is the first spaceborne L−band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar. It is expected that PALSAR polarimetric data is used for many applications such as agriculture, forestry, ocean, natural disasters etc. Thus, polarimetric calibration is a...
متن کاملCalibration of Spaceborne Linearly Polar- Ized Low Frequency Sar Using Polarimetric Selective Radar Calibrators
Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems operating at lower frequencies, such as P-band, are significantly affected by Faraday rotation (FR) effects. This paper presents a novel algorithm for measuring system errors (channel imbalance and cross-talk) in the presence of Faraday rotation for spaceborne polarimetric SAR data. It uses four polarimetric selective calibrators (four polarimet...
متن کاملMapping Aurora Activity with SAR - A Case Study
Ionospheric propagation effects can have significant impact on the signal properties of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems and they increase with decreasing carrier frequency. Recently, theoretical analyzes of ionospheric distortions in low-frequency SAR signals have indicated a multitude effects that are likely to affect the quality of SAR, interferometric SAR (InSAR), and polarimetric SAR...
