Abstract

The authors show for first time the applicability of polarimetric interferometry techniques on high resolution interferometric scattering matrix airborne data. They point out the main requirements considering system hardware as well as data processing and calibration algorithms which are important for the polarimetric interferometric data evaluation and describe their implementation in the case of the DLR´s experimental SAR system (E-SAR)
