  • Abstract
    Polarimetric SAR can provide amplitude and phase information of targets, thus is widely used. For high image data quality, accurate ground calibration targets are needed. This paper describes a prototype multifunctional Polarimetric Active Radar Calibrator (PARC). An experiment was made in microwave darkroom to prove the applicability of PARC in polarimetric SAR calibration.
