Method for radar polarimetry and polarimetric radar system

摘要

In a method for Radarpolarimetrie and a polarimetric radar system for radiating and / or receiving the polarized electromagnetic waves, a reflective or transmitting polarization-rotating element in front of the transmitting antenna and / or the receiving antenna is arranged, which changes the polarization of the electromagnetic waves as a function of their frequency. For at least two different frequencies and / or frequency bands of the electromagnetic waves emitted via the transmitting antenna and / or received by the receiving antenna, a different polarization is thereby produced. The method and the associated radar system can be implemented cost-effectively and have a high level of reliability.
