Electric Field Equation Backscattered field as a function of incident field Jones vectors of incident and backscattered waves Sinclair matrix S describing the scatterer
Electric Field Ratio R = Polarization
Polarization Equation Scattered polarization as a function of transmit polarization
Power Equation Scattered power as a function of transmit polarization
Polarization Match Similarity of polarization states R1 and R2 1 = same polarizations 0 = orthogonal polarizations
