Faraday rotation correction in the polarimetric mode of MIRAS

This paper describes a new method to compensate the Faraday rotation in polarimetric radiometric measurements under the assumption that the polarimetric brightness temperature matrix of the target is diagonal. Simulations results of how this method can be used within the Soil Moisture and Ocean Sali...

Zusammenfassung:This paper describes a new method to compensate the Faraday rotation in polarimetric radiometric measurements under the assumption that the polarimetric brightness temperature matrix of the target is diagonal. Simulations results of how this method can be used within the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission and the Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis imaging radiometer are presented.
