Polarimetric Ultrawideband Radar — Principles and applications

Polarimetric Ultrawideband Radar

“…Finally using the Pauli decomposition, as described in Section 2.2., one can generate an polarimetric image of the scattering differences of the targets caused by the different polarization of the transmitted and received signals as a function of the delay time, [15].…”

Exploiting polarimetric radar cross section characteristics for clustering of ultrawideband radar signals

“…In comparison to remote sensing (RS) applications where polarimetric analysis is a common tool for instance in satellite based earth observation [2,3], in UWB short range sensing (SRS) polarimetric methods play only a secondary role in signal processing, since sensor movement tracks and scenario geometry introduce challenging characteristics to systems and data statistics. In the last years it was shown that the increased requirements for signal acquisition and processing for fully polarimetric UWB systems hold certain benefits for object detection and backscattering analysis [4]. Especially in the field of UWB imaging, coherent decomposition techniques enable separation of different backscattering mechanisms, that correspond to orthogonal polarimetric signatures like single and double bounce backscattering [5,6].…”

Exploitation of polarimetry in short range 3D UWB-radar object imaging

“…More than one decade after the FCC has performed the regulation of UWB for commercial and consumer applications [11] fully polarimetric considerations for short-range UWB-Radar are leisurely arising [12,13,14].…”
