Modern Antenna Handbook

TL;DR: The Modern Antenna Handbook as mentioned in this paper provides a comprehensive treatment of classical and modern antennas and their related technologies, including metamaterials, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), frequency selective surfaces (FSS), radar cross sections (RCS), and advanced numerical and computational methods targeted primarily for the analysis and design of antennas.

Imaging radar polarization signatures: Theory and observation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared theory and experimental results obtained with an imaging radar polarimeter employing two orthogonally polarized antennas, and proposed a new way of displaying the resulting scattering cross section as a function of polarization.

Polarization diversity in radars

TL;DR: Many polarization techniques, which have been proposed and analyzed to enhance radar performance, are reviewed in this paper in order to assess the possible improvement they can provide in the signal-to-disturbance ratio, target detectability, target discrimination and resolution, and target classification and identification.

A review of polarimetry in the context of synthetic aperture radar: concepts and information extraction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an update of the polarimetric tools currently being used for optimum information extraction from polarIMetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, including the use of coherent versus incoherent target decomposition and the practical limitations of these target decompositions.
