Abstract :
The influence of the antenna pattern on measured Faraday rotation is examined in the context of passive remote sensing at L-band. It is shown that while I = Tv + Th is independent of Faraday rotation to first order, I has rotation dependence when realistic antenna patterns are included in the analysis. Also, it is shown that the angle retrieved from the 3rd Stokes parameter can be biased relative to Faraday rotation at boresight.
