Abstract
This thesis documents the design, construction and testing of a bench-top level measurement system and verifies previously established Dropped Channel Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Compressive Sensing (DCPCS) simulation results. Compressive Sensing is a mathematical technique which can capture and represent compressible signals at sampling rates significantly below the Nyquist rate. DCPCS is a technique which enhances Compressive Sensing techniques using known physical antenna crosstalk values. The DCPCS technique enables reconstruction of fully polarimetric signals whilst only measuring part of the signal, reducing data capture requirements.
