Abstract:

 

This contribution is a tutorial introduction to the  phenomenological theory of radar polarimetry for the coherent scatter  case emphasizing monostatic backscattering and forward scattering  (transmission).  Characteristic similarities and differences between  radar polarimetry and optical polarimetry and the role of linear and  antilinear operators (time-reversal) are pointed out and typical  polarimetric invariants are identified.
