Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field ... Most radars are designed to transmit microwave radiation either horizontally polarized (H) or vertically polarized (V). Similarly, the antenna receives either the horizontally or vertically polarized backscattered energy, and some radars can receive both. 6, record 1, English, - vertical%20transmit%20and%20vertical%20receive%20polarization

La polarisation représente l'orientation du champ électromagnétique [...] La plupart des radars ont été dessinés de façon à transmettre des hyperfréquences avec une polarisation horizontale (H) ou verticale (V). De même, l'antenne reçoit de l'énergie rétrodiffusée avec polarisation horizontale ou verticale, mais certains radars peuvent recevoir les deux. 1, record 1, French, - polarisation%20verticale%20pour%20la%20transmission%20et%20la%20r%C3%A9ception
