The post describes a homemade polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) drone built with a limited budget. The drone uses FMCW radar technology to capture high-resolution images with HH, HV, VH, and VV polarizations. Key challenges and solutions in the radar design, including RF design, antenna design, and signal processing,
