Figure 4 Example 3: Dual Polarization Magnetron System
In Figure 4, a two receive channel on the RVP901 IFDR is used. The
receive signals, in both channels, are at the same IF frequency. Each
channel has its own 16-bit ADC convertor, which are phase locked to the
master clock. As seen in the single polarization example in Figure 2, no
additional signal processing hardware is required to convert to a
dual-polarization solution. The functionality is an optionally licensed
feature.
The RVP900 supports calculation of the complete covariance matrix for
dual pol, including Z
dr
, PhiDP (K
dp
), RhoHV, LDR, and more. Which of
these variables is available depends on whether the system is a
single-channel switching system (alternate H and V), a (Simultaneous
Transmit and Receive (STAR) system, or a dual-channel switching system
(co- and cross-receivers).
