8.3 Polarimeter

The polarimeter can be connected to any receiver and receives directly 2 analog inputs from the Front End corresponding to the circular polarizations. It supplies 4 outputs in 2x400 MHz sub-bands :

bullet

Total power measurement on the two channels :Stokes I1, I2

bullet

Linear polarizations measurements : Stokes Q,U

The available bandwidths may be considered less then what is reported because of interferences.
