First bistatic polarimetry experiments with KAPRI on ETH Hönggerberg campus
We have successfully performed first data acquisitions with the radar system KAPRI (Ku-band Advanced Polarimetric Radar Interferometer) in bistatic configuration.
Bistatic configuration signifies that the transmitting and receiving instrument are spatially separated by a large distance. Such configuration is challenging in terms of remote instrument synchronization, calibration, and complex acquisition geometry. Next steps are achieving full polarimetric calibration of both devices, and investigation of polarimetric signatures of natural scenes.
