Since the FM-CW radar is suitable for short range sensing and can be equipped with fully polarimetric capability, we further extended it to a polarimetric three-dimensional SAR system. A field experiment was carried out to image and detect targets in a natural snowpack of 280 cm deep. The polarimetric detection and identification schemes are the polarimetric filtering, three-component decomposition, and the power polarization anisotropy coefficient. These approaches to acquired data show the usefulness of three-dimensional polarimetric FM-CW SAR system.}, pages = {1963--1968}, title = {Three-Dimensional Fully Polarimetric Imaging in Snowpack by a Synthetic Aperture FM-CW Radar(Special Issue on Advances in Radar Systems)}, volume = {E83-B}, year = {2000} }
