Processing algorithms
RVP10 supports four polarization modes summarized in the table below. For each case, the standard moments (T, Z, V, and W) are also calculated.
The notation for the outputs used here is similar to that in standard use (for example, Doviak and Zrnic). However, for LDR we use the notation LDRH to indicate that this is the LDR for horizontal transmission. The notation RhoH and PhiH indicates the magnitude and phase of the covariance between the co- and cross-polarized channels for H transmit.
| Case | Transmit | Receive | Processing mode | Polarization outputs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fixed horizontal or fixed vertical | Dual-channel | PPP only | LDRH, RhoH, PhiH, or LDRV, RhoV, PhiV |
| 2 | Simultaneous H+V (STAR mode) | Dual-channel | PPP or Zdr for FFT, Random Phase, and DPRT1&2 | ZV, ZHV, Zdr, PhiDP, Kdp, RhoHV |
| 3 | Alternating H/V | Single-channel | PPP only | ZV, ZHV, Zdr, PhiDP, Kdp, RhoHV |
| 4 | Alternating H/V | Dual-channel | PPP only | ZV, ZHV, Zdr, LDRH |
| RhoH, PhiH, LDRV, RhoV, PhiV, PhiDP, Kdp, RhoHV |
