随机非球形粒子全极化散射的时间相关Mueller矩阵解

The Mueller matrix solution of the vector radiative transfer equation with time dependence is derived in this paper.It is applied to the simulation of polarimetric bistatic scattering from a layer of random non\|spherical scatterers nonuniformly oriented when a Gaussian plane pulse is incident upon it.Co\|polarized and crosspolarized bistatic scattering are numerically calculated.The pulse echoes are compared with the incident pulse.We demonstrate the functional dependence of the pulse on the physical parameters of a random medium,such as spatial orientation and fractional volume of scatterers,incidence angle and polarization,the layer depth etc.
