RADARSAT-2 will be capable of transmitting horizontal(H) and vertical(V) polarizations and, depending on the selected mode, the sensor will receive either H or V signals or both of the signals simultaneously. Therefore, in addition to providing complete RADARSAT-1 continuity, RADARSAT-2 will generate products with VV polarization, cross-polarization(HV or VH), dual-polarization(HH+HV or VV+VH) or quad-polarization(HH+VV+HV+VH) over a range of spatial resolutions.

When both the amplitude and the phase information are available, it is possible to synthesize the polarization response for all the polarization states. To synthesize the response, phase information and two orthogonal(transmit and receive) polarization states are required. For example, most spaceborne SAR's(e. g. RADARSAT-2) use the HH and VV polarization configuration to satisfy the orthogonality condition. Three dimensional polarization response plots are typically used to illustrate the polarimetry response for a given target. The following conventions are commonly used : The radar response is normalized between 0 and 1 [. ] The horizontal axes are the ellipticity angle... and the orientation angle... The ellipticity angle ranges between-45°(right circularly polarized) and +45°(left circularly polarized). When [ellipticity angle equals 0°, we have linear polarization. The orientation angle... is usually defined between-90° and +90°, but is sometimes defined between 0° and +180°. 2, record 9, English, - ellipticity%20angle

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 12, French, - mode%20de%20polarisation
