Abstract
In the paper the concept of a polarimetric SAR performing a simultaneous full target backscattering matrix estimation is proposed. The block diagram of the system and the signal processing algorithms are developed; main characteristics of the system are defined. Simultaneous backscattering matrix estimation implemented in the system allows avoiding errors existing in other systems. SAR PHARUS (P. Hoogeboom et al., 1992), developed in FEL TNO, that performs pulse-to-pulse method of BSM estimation, and the project of radar COMESA jointly performed by IRCTR TUDelft and TUCSR (2004) are used as prototypes
