Abstract

The paper presents the first attempt to develop parameters that are invariant to polarization, aimed at classification and recognition of complex radar objects. Both the simplest (two-point) model and multipoint models of a complex object are analyzed using the so-called emergence principle and a generalization of the interference laws. The polarization invariant parameters of scattered fields and their statistical parameters, including autocorrelation functions and space spectra, are found. The experimental validation of the analysis results is presented.
