Abstract

A polarimetric interferential radiometer operating in the L band and the procedure for measuring a full set of Stokes polarization parameters are described. It is shown that the interference principle of operation of the measuring system is intended to obtain the Stokes-polarization and polarization-ellipse parameters. Some polarization parameters preliminarily measured in a 1410-to 1420-MHz frequency band for seawater radiation are given.
