Abstract
The present invention relates to a polarimetric radar, consisting of a transmission assembly that emits circularly polarized waves by means of transmission antennas and a receiver assembly that receives the reflected circularly polarized wave components by means of an antenna assembly. A plurality of two-channel receivers are provided as the receiver assembly, which simultaneously receive clockwise-rotating and anti-clockwise-rotating circularly polarized signal components, which are provided for digital beam shaping downstream of the antenna assembly. The invention further relates to a method for object classification.
