Abstract :
With the analysis of a polarimetric measurement error model, a novel radar target´s reciprocity correction algorithm is presented based on a least degradation rule. After transforming the nonlinear optimal function of four variables with constraints to a nonlinear optimal function of two variables without constraints, the solution is given. Simulation results verify its feasibility and indicate its good performance
