Remote Sensing, Vol. 14, Pages 2452: Calibration and Validation of Polarimetric ALOS2-PALSAR2 (Remote Sensing)
 


PALSAR2 polarimetric distortion matrix is measured using corner reflectors deployed in the Amazonian forest. The Amazonian forest near the geomagnetic equator provides ideal sites for the assessment of L-band PALSAR2 antenna parameters, at free Faraday rotation. Corner reflectors (CRs) deployed at free Faraday rotation provide accurate estimation of antenna cross-talks in contrast to the biased measurements obtained with CRs deployed at significant Faraday rotation. The extended Freeman–Van Zyl calibration method introduced and validated for ALOS-PALSAR calibration is used for the assessment of PALSAR-2 calibration parameters. Six datasets collected over the Amazonian rainforests (with CRs) are used to assess PALSAR-2 distortion matrix for five beams (FP6-3 to FP6-7) with incidence angle varying from 25° to 40°. It is shown that the PALSAR2 antenna is highly isolated with very low cross-talks (lower than −40 dB). Finally, the impact of a significant Faraday rotation on antenna cross-talk measurements using CR is discussed.
