In this paper, we analyse the potential associated with a compact polarimetry (CP) P band spaceborne SAR system. Indeed, this architecture allows polarimetric acquisition without the usual reduction in swath. The CP data is shown to be almost equivalent to the full polarimetric data over extended targets, and the PolInSAR analysis can be performed without a significant loss of performance.
