Polarization effects in 3D vectorial-induced current reconstructions.

In tomography algorithms, the complex amplitude scattering matrix corresponds to the input parameter. When considering 3D targets, the scattering matrix now contains vectorial information. Thus, this scattering matrix might be calculated with various polarization projections.

Microwave measurements of the full amplitude scattering matrix of a complex aggregate: a database for the assessment of light scattering codes.

We present an extensive experimental study of microwave scattering by a fully characterized complex aggregate. We measured the full amplitude scattering matrix (amplitude and phase of the four elements) for a wide range of configurations. The presented results are of special interest to the light scattering community.
