Abstract :
In this paper, we present the full polarimetric calibration of GB-SAR system with a thin wire whose orientation angle is 0 degree, 45 degree and 90 degree. At first we measured 0 degree, 45 degree and 90 degree inclined thin wire in order to derive calibration parameters. We also measured 30 degree and 60 degree wire in order to confirm this calibration method works well or not by using the estimated parameters. Calibration results of 30 and 60 degree wire cases are also described in this paper.
