Reduction of polarizing radiometer data
Abstract
Excellent agreement with data taken with a polarizing radiometer is obtained when the data are fit with a form containing constant, first harmonic, second harmonic, and slope terms. The data may be reduced rapidly by a single matrix multiplication using a technique described in this article.
