Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Microwave remote sensing is a very useful way of making observations of the surface of the Earth, from satellites or aircrafts. Calibration of observation instruments are key features to extract all kinds of data. Calibrating the instruments installed on satellites or aircrafts, the general procedure would be to place targets, the radar cross section and scattering matrix which are known, in the observation field of view. This paper experimentally evaluates the characteristics of passive polarization selective metal strip grating reflectors, and passive polarization rotating reflectors using the twist-reflector principle. This reflector is more shallow in depth and easier to handle, compared to a conventional calibration target.
