Vertical Transmit-Horizontal Receive Polarissation (VH)

A mode of radar polarisation where the microwaves of the electric field are oriented in the vertical plane for signal transmission, and where the horizontally polarised electric field of the backscattered energy is received by the radar antenna (ESA, 2020).
