RADARSAT-2 offers three polarimetric modes :(1) selective polarization(dual pol) providing one co-pol channel(HH or VV) and the corresponding cross-pol channel(HV) ;(2) high resolution(3 m) single pol channel(HH or VV or HV) ;and(3) a fully polarimetric mode(quad pol) providing both amplitude and phase. The fully polarimetric mode is significant since RADARSAT-2 is the first commercial satellite to offer this mode. 5, record 1, English, - polarization%20mode

On peut utiliser les termes «polarisation en quadrature» et «polarimétrie intégrale» comme synonymes de «polarimétrique». La mesure de la phase relative entre les canaux constitue un paramètre très important pour un radar polarimétrique, alors qu'elle n'est pas obligatoirement mesurée pour les autres types de radar. On trouve sur le satellite ENVISAT un mode de polarisation alternée, pour lequel la phase relative est mesurée. Cependant, la phase principale HH-VV n'y a aucune signification en raison du délai entre les mesures. 5, record 1, French, - mode%20de%20polarisation

Cross-Pol Phase : This represents the difference between the cross-polarized channels(e. g. HH and HV). For the most part, the difference is uniformly distributed between-180a and +180a phase, and therefore contains no target-specific information. 3, record 2, English, - cross%2Dpolarization%20phase
