“… Oguchi and Ito [1990] obtained the numerical solutions of the two frequency vector radiative transfer equation in the case where a circularly polarized plane pulse was normally incident upon a half space of spherical raindrops. Whitman et al [1996] investigated the pulse propagation in a strongly forward scattering random medium. However, all above researches are limited to the model of homogeneous random media.…”

The Mueller matrix solution of vector radiative transfer for inhomogeneous random media of nonspherical scatterers under a pulse incidence is presented. Copolarized and cross‐polarized bistatic scattering echoes can be numerically simulated. Temporally varying echoes well demonstrate volumetric and surface scattering mechanism and depict the inhomogeneous fraction profile of random scatterers. The effective height of inhomogeneous canopy inverted from the pulse echoes is discussed. Pulse echo patterns are also numerically simulated for polarimetric scattering from the model of random metal targets beneath the layered vegetation canopies.

“…Making the inverse Fourier transformation of of (10), the first-order scattering intensity observed in the layer-0 can be obtained as follows: (11) Four terms of the right-hand side (RHS) of (11) represent, respectively, four scattering processes (as illustrated in Fig. 2) (It has also been appeared in (10) in the -domain.)…”

Polarimetric scattering from inhomogeneous random media of nonspherical scatterers under a pulse incidence is studied. The time-dependent Mueller matrix solution of vector radiative transfer for layering random media is derived. Copolarized and cross-polarized bistatic and back-scattering are numerically calculated. The shape and intensity of polarized echoes well depict the inhomogeneous fraction profile of random scatterers. Its functional dependence upon the fraction profile, layering thickness, and other parameters are discussed. This technique is applicable to reconstruction of inhomogeneous fraction profile and inversion of the media thickness.Index Terms-Inhomogeneous random media, polarimetric scattering, pulse echo, temporal Mueller matrix.
