Study of a three beam scatterometer
Abstract
A wind scatterometer employing three beams at different look angles but operating with the same beam polarization was investigated. System configuration versus performance; calibration; and the electronics, including the switch matrix, data processing and configuration are considered. Methods for improving the system performance are discussed. The possibility of coherent scatterometry is explored.
