Abstract
A novel transpolarizing or crosspolarizing surface has been proposed to be applied in polarimetric SAR calibrating systems, like trihedrals, since they can not provide initially a crosspolar response. So the trans-surface has been designed and measured in an anechoic chamber, providing good results for normal incidence.
