Antenna Cased Bias Of Polarimetric Variables Obtained By Electromagnetic Simulations

A roadmap for polarimetric weather radar antenna modeling is presented. Validation of the model, as well as comparison of multiple solvers, is presented in determining the most optimal research tool for large polarimetric array modeling. The application of the infinite array approximation is investigated in terms of polarimetric calibration requirements. Finally, a set of antenna caused biases is examined for a mobile radar.
