Abstract

In some applications, including but not limited to synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) imagery and wireless communication, the Weibull distribution is more flexible than the exponential distribution for these purposes, because it fits particularly well at the heavy tail of the sea clutter. In this paper, we conduct a statistical analysis of Stokes parameters based on random polarization phasor sums. We provide a comprehensive analysis for the statistical properties of the Stokes parameters in stochastic electric field with a Weibull-distribution intensity. The presented statistics of the Weibull-distribution optical field will be useful to optical scattering from random birefringent medium and polarization speckle imaging, which can also be extended to deal with the characterization of the scattering matrix in radar polarimetry.
