Abstract :
This letter shows some experimental results obtained with a double-polarisation S-band radar using fixed circular polarisation at transmit and two orthogonal circularly polarised channels at receipt. The results refer to the short-time polarisation behaviour of aircraft target and ground clutter. From these results it can be inferred that adaptative polarisation techniques can be effective in improving the signal/clutter ratio.
