Experimental results of polarimetric passive ISAR exploiting DVB-S2 illumination
This paper shows a first analysis of polarimetric passive ISAR images using digital video broadcasting-satellite (DVB-S(2)) as illuminator of opportunity. A measurement campaign has been conducted exploiting an experimental system developed at Fraunhofer FHR and a ferry as cooperative target. The collected data have been firstly processed by means of backprojection to obtain ISAR images at each polarimetric channel. Then two different representations in the polarimetric domain are considered. The first one is a color coding based on a modified Pauli decomposition.
