Using a hand-held, square trihedral comer reflector camed onboard a helicopter it is possible to calibrate field measurements of RCS .against the known freespace value of the comer reflector to an accuracy of about fldB. INTRODUCTlON Radar cross-section (RCS) measurements of targets at aea are frequently subject to variations arising from interference between the radio frequency (RF) waves propagated over direct paths from the transmitter to the target and then back to the receiver, and those returning to the receiver after reflection(s) from the sea surface. Such multipath effects are most prominent under low sea state conditions and hamper the measurement of the free-space RCS needed for system analyses, simulation and mathematical modelling. Figure 1 illustrates the variations in a target's radar echo that can occur when the illuminating RF waves are propagated over a smooth sea surface.","PeriodicalId":234490,"journal":{"name":"AMPC Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference,","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122596917","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}

In particular, polarization diversity radar systems which provide for the variation of the transmitted wave polarization, and for the dual reception of orthog+ nally polarized waves, have been proven to be advantageous in that respect. At the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa, polarimetric radars that yield directly the elements of the coherency matrix, have been used in precipitation measurements. Combining polarization agility with the coherency matrix measurements at different polarization basis provides additional information about the intrinsic properties of the scatterers and other important meteorological aspects. In this paper, these aspects are summarized, the techniques used are described and some results from measurements are presented.","PeriodicalId":234490,"journal":{"name":"AMPC Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference,","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128798439","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}
