A differential equation approach was developed. It can be used for general dispersive media for which in *( omega ) and mu *( omega ) may be expressible in terms of ration functions, or for human tissues where multiterm Debye relaxation equations must generally be used. The method is illustrated by means of one- and three-dimensional examples of media for which in *( omega ) is given by a multiterm Debye equation and for a dispersive model of the human body.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165665,"journal":{"name":"1992 IEEE Microwave Symposium Digest MTT-S","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126788785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new CPW structure also has the advantage of relatively low loss at discontinuities.

The technique requires precise measurement of the two orthogonal-mode antenna temperatures along with cross-correlation of the two mode amplitudes (the first three Stokes parameters). An innovative polarized blackbody load was developed for accurate calibration of the cross-correlating channel. Using 90-GHz near-Brewster angle observations of a polarizing water surface, rotation of the antenna's polarization basis by a matrix transformation was performed. The experimental results demonstrate the viability of electronic polarization basis rotation (EPBR) and suggest practical calibration schemes for full-polarization radiometers. Applications of EBPR include mechanically scanned polarization-sensitive imaging radiometers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":165665,"journal":{"name":"1992 IEEE Microwave Symposium Digest MTT-S","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124380898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
