Polarimetry

1
Polarimetry

• Polarization is the Orientation of the Electric
  Vector (E) in an Electro Magnetic Wave,
  frequently "Horizontal" (H) or "Vertical" (V) in
  conventional imaging radar systems. Polarization
  is Established by the Antenna.
• Complete State of scattered Electromagnetic Wave
  described by the Scattering Matrix S, which
  connectsthe Received Field Vector Er with the
  Transmitted Field Vector Et. (Börner)
• Scattering Matrix Decomposition into 3 Components
  (Example Sperical Basis)
