Kui saatja edastab horisontaalse polarisatsiooniga signaali, tuleb antenn paigaldada nii nagu on näha vasakpoolsel pildil – antenni “vardad” peavad olema maapinnaga horisontaalselt.
Dual-pol (HH/HV or VV/VH) is expected to be available for global observations every cycle, with the potential for quad-pol in India and the United States. Over land surfaces, the transmit polarization will principally be horizontal, and receive will be over both vertical and horizontal polarizations.
