Ambiguity is one of the most important factors that influence the quality of SAR images. Although the existing Polarization Time Division (PTD) operation mode of spacebome polarimetric SAR system can be easily realized, its range ambiguity problem becomes very serious with high-orbit spacebome sensors. In order to solve this problem, new operation modes based on Polarization Frequency Division (PFD) and Polarization Code Division (PCD) are proposed in this paper. The performances of these three modes are compared in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
