ABSTRACT:
A process for mapping a region of interest using polarimetric radar signals is disclosed. The process provides for the polarimetric calibration of polarized signal data to account for distortions arising from cross-talk and channel imbalance during signal transmission and/or reception. Moreover, the process also can be used to correct for ionospheric signal distortions of polarized signals with low frequencies prone to Faraday rotations upon encountering the ionosphere. Such calibrations are accomplished with a reduced number of, typically ground-based, signal reflection devices used for calibrating the polarimetric signals to compensate for the above distortions.
