Error importing ALOS PALSAR-2 Dual Pol

The range looks correct and the equation is the one provided by JAXA :+1: Should be good!

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Mr ABraun, I imported the ALOS PALSAR 1.1 level product via SNAP, I got i_HV and q_HV and further obtained the backscatter coefficient values. But I imported this product correctly through POLSARpro too, and got S11,S12,S21,S22, what do these values represent? Why are the real and imaginary parts of the S12 not equal to i_HV and q_HV, even by a large order of magnitude. Again I have this problem. Can you try some 1.1 level product and help me figure out the connection between them?

What types of polarimetric decomposition’s can be applied to an ALOS 1.5 level product?
What types doesn’t require the complex form of the dada?
