Cross-Polarization Radar Integrated Debugging Platform

For debugging cross-polarization radar and testing polarization algorithms, new cross-polarization radar integrated debugging platform is proposed in this paper. The polarimetric signal processing are developed with rapid speed nowadays, but cost of polarimetric radar is so expensive that most programs and algorithms can´t be tested by real radar usually. Last but not least, most radar experiments are one-off, but these are not enough for research. For resolve these problems, a kind of multifunctional integrated device is required. In the paper, the cross-polarization radar integrated debugging platform is designed in detail. Firstly, the index of integrated debugging platform is given; secondly, the debugging platform is divided into 3 modules to be analyzed; thirdly, the key techniques are analyzed; finally, the performance of platform is tested.
