Abstract :
The polarimetric characteristics of the signal back scattered from a building wall are studied in this paper with the aid of MIMO measurements and Ray Tracing simulation. A very simple environment with a single rural building amid an open area is considered to reduce complexity and better isolate the different kinds of back-scattered contributions: specular reflection, diffractions, diffuse scattering. Narrowband and wideband metrics are utilized to evaluate scattering characteristics focusing in particular on its polarization properties.
