Ku-band, polarimetric, combined, short pulse scatterometer-radiometer system for stationary fixed platform, vessel and airborne applications

Preliminary Polarimetric Measurements of Ruffled Water Surface Radar Backscattering Coefficients and Brightness Temperatures Angular Dependences at 15GHz

“…The principal advantages of this unique device are its spatio-temporally combining of microwave active-passive channels of observation under the condition of short range sensing (the minimum operational range of the system's scatterometer is lesser than 5m) at far field condition of sensing. The structure, functional and operational time diagrams of the system are described more detail in [2][3][4].…”
