Abstract

In this work we analyse the correlation properties of simultaneous bistatic and monostatic polarimetric sea clutter data, collected by the NetRAD multistatic radar system. In particular, we study the temporal autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions of the texture and speckle samples, as a function of the system geometry and of the polarization of the transmitter and receiver antennas. These features can vary significantly as a function of bistatic angle and the goal of this paper is to quantify these variations and extract any trends that are observed.
