1. Introduction
Radar systems with single polarized antennas receives backscattered wave field vector
and is transformed into a scalar signal resulting in loss of some information regarding
target features………….
2. Literature Review
This literature review is based on issues with dual polarized radars. ……….
2.1 Polarimetric radar:
The importance of the polarimetric properties associated with electromagnetic (EM)
scattering by targets was noticed in the early 1950s [1]……….
2.2 Polarization based detectibility:
Polarization based detectibility is subject to following terms.
A. Antenna and wave polarization
The polarization state for both backscattered wave waves and receive antennas can be
described using Stokes vector [ 2]……..
B. Scattering matrices for target
If transmission antenna’s polarization vector is Vt and Vs is of backscattered wave, then
target orientation angle, target helicity angle, target skip angle, and target polarization
angle [8]…………..
C. Object Dependent behavior of Polarization
i. Target Shape
The backscattered wave mostly depends on the shape and conducting properties of
surface around the backscattered center………..
ii. Precipitation Clutter
Backscattering from precipitation clutter can limit detection capability of radar[1].
iii. Land and Sea Clutter
Ground clutter introduces depolarization due to ground surface roughness,
causing to reduce radar visibility. [4,8].
3. Open Areas
Cross polarization reduction is important in sensitivity measurement in Polarimetric
RADAR system. ……..
4. Statement of Goals
The platform for this research thesis would be the design of dual polarization antenna
system for specification compatible Doppler Radar Transceiver System for long distance
remote sensing. ………..
Fig. 6. Block diagram for specification definition for proposed antenna
The design will begin at system level engineering issues and moving through computer-
aided design. In the end fabrication and test will be performed.
5. Research & Innovation Goals
6. Academic Goals
The major portion of my thesis work is related to RF measurements, microwave systems
specifications and application of computational electromagnetic on antennas.
7. Methodology and Plan
i. Methodology
