Abstract

Several targets are set-up outside and imaged by a passive millimeter-wave sensor over a 24 hour period. The sensor is capable of measuring two linear polarization states simultaneously and the contrasts of the targets are compared for the different polarizations. The choice of polarization is shown to have an impact on the contrast of different targets throughout the day. In an extreme case the contrast of a target experiences a crossover event and disappears for one polarization while it presents a strong contrast (9 K) with the other polarization. Experimental results are shown along with a simulation of the scene using a ray tracing program.
