Abstract
The PolSAR system must be calibrated before obtain effective polarimetric information. The airplane attitude is unstable during the PolSAR measurement, which will impact the polarimetric calibration precision. This paper improved the polarimetric calibration method proposed by Whitt considering the impact of airplane attitude. The improved method is proved by polarimetric experiment using a PolSAR system developed by IECAS (Institute of electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences).
