A New Bistatic Huynen Target Parameters Extraction Algorithm: Experimental Validation and Data Analysis.

The utilization of polarization information is a hot topic in the bistatic radar field. Bistatic full-polarization scattering dataset and polarization decomposition theories are urgently needed. We have established an indoor bistatic full-polarization scattering measurement system to investigate the target polarization scattering characteristics (PSCs), and a dataset is obtained. Due to its excellent performance, bistatic Huynen target parameters (BHTPs) are selected as the PSCs analysis tool. Then, a new BHTP extraction algorithm is presented, which directly extracts BHTPs from the measured Sinclair matrix. It is a state-of-the-art algorithm for BHTP extraction because of its easy implementation, robustness, and clear physical meanings. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can extract BHTPs accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
