Abstract
A dual polarized radar system transmits a waveform having energy polarized in a direction to permit the waveform to be separately received by orthogonally positioned waveguides. Specifically, receivers are able to separately measure a vertically polarized component of the returns and a horizontally polarized component of the returns without requiring the transmitter to divide the transmit signal across polarization angles. Thus, components for dividing the transmit signal and calibrating the system to account for inaccuracies resulting from such division can be eliminated, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the radar system.
