Abstract  

As for a distribute target, the change of radar look angle and topographical slopes will arouse the polarization orientation angles shifts. On the contrary, when the radar look angle is known, topographical slopes can be estimated from the variance of the polarization orientation angle. Thus, in this paper, we review and summarize all kinds of estimation techniques proposed for the polarization orientation angles induced by terrain slopes so far, and evaluate the merit and deficiency of those methods. At the same time, besides the selection of algorithms, others factors that affect the accuracy of orientation angle estimations are discussed, and the current research and applications fields of orientation angles will also be   presented.

Key words:  Radar      Polarization orientation angles      Terrain slopes
