Bistatic polarimetric decompositions applied to depolarizing targets

This paper deals with the behavior of the depolarization of natural environments in bistatic settings. In bistatic radar imaging, we seek simulation tools capable of predicting this depolarization for any geometric configuration. As we lack actual real data to validate such tools, we propose an alte...

Summary:This paper deals with the behavior of the depolarization of natural environments in bistatic settings. In bistatic radar imaging, we seek simulation tools capable of predicting this depolarization for any geometric configuration. As we lack actual real data to validate such tools, we propose an alternative measurement method, at the optical scale, on depolarizing media consisting of carbon nanotubes. We present the first results of such measures, and we offer a number of phenomenological interpretations using also a simulation tool.
