• Description:
  —The effects of phased array antenna patterns on copolar correlation coefficient of polarimetric radar are analyzed. Analytic expressions are derived and used to quantify biases in the copolar correlation coefficient caused by mismatch of beam widths for horizontal and vertical polarizations. Misalignment in t he beams’ pointing direction is also considered. Measurements are made on an 8 ×8 panel of a polarimetric phased array radar
