"Detection of Polarimetric Radar Imbalances using Noise"

Presented by Alex Kostinski, Michigan Tech

Thursday, November 2, 2023, 11:00 am — Large Conference Room, Bldg. 490

Phased array configuration is currently being considered a leading contender for next generation weather radars in USA. Polarization diversity is an important part of the design. To that end, we pose a problem of detecting and monitoring imbalances (unwanted lack of orthogonality or cross-talk) of two orthogonally polarized radar receivers by using noise. Towards solving this problem, we then describe some recently obtained (preliminary) results in statistical ellipsometry. In particular, we relate polarimetric mismatches or imbalances in radars in terms of intuitive polarization ellipse variables to suitably chosen cross-correlation measures.
