Abstract :
Polarimetric agile radar can be used to estimate all elements of the polarization-dependent backscattering matrix (BSM) simultaneously. Stringent requirements, such as amplitude and phase matching between channels, cross-channel isolation and polarization isolation, for a dual-channel polarimetric agile radar system have to be investigated. The radar system simulation is a practical and effective approach to evaluate these requirements. This paper presents the modelling and simulation of the dual-channel FMCW polarimetric agile radar system by using Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS) simulation software. The paper focuses on investigating the limitations of cross-channel isolation and estimating the error of BSM components in polarimetric agile radar system simulations.
