Abstract
The frequency response of wideband polarimetric phased array radar antenna biases polarization measurement. A bias correction method named the iterative frequency division (IFD) algorithm is proposed in this paper to eliminate the effect of frequency response of the antenna system. The method is built on a new measurement bias model in which the effects of frequency response on the backscattering covariance matrix are analyzed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a wideband microstrip patch array element is designed. Simulation results show that the biases of differential reflectivity ( Z D R ) and linear depolarization ratio ( L D R ) can be decreased to less than 0.1 dB and − 40 dB even for wide beam direction. The proposed method maintains a favorable polarization measurement accuracy for wideband polarimetric phased array radar.
