Abstract

In this paper L-band, polarimetric, combined, short pulse scatterometer-radiometer system is described, for short distance remote sensing application, under laboratory and field-control conditions. Developed system allows to carry out polarimetric (vv, vh, hit, hv), simultaneous and spatially coincident microwave active-passive measurements of observed surface (soil, soil vegetation, snow and water surface) microwave reflective and emissive characteristics at angles of incidence from the while of 0-80°.
