Wavelength Vs. Frequency


According to Maxwells Wave theory: c=xf where c = speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/sec = 30 x 10^9 cm s) = wavelength f = frequency Relationship between & is known as THIRTY RULE (f is expressed in Gigahertz 1GH= 10^9 hertz)

(cm) =30 x 10^9 cm s


f (GHz)=30 x 10^9 cm s

x 10^9 cycles s
x cm cycles

The electric field oscillations of the transmitted pulses are either in the VERTICAL or the HORIZONTAL plane (by the design of the antenna elements).

PARALLEL POLARIZED or LIKE POLARIZED systems HH VV (horizontal transmit, horizontal receive) (vertical transmit , vertical receive)

CROSS-POLARIZED systems HV VH (horizontal transmit, vertical receive) (vertical transmit, horizontal receive)

When four polarimetric channels are used , the radar is referred to as quadrature - polarimetric or quad-pol
