论文摘要
这些研讨会注释介绍了极化法的概念和数学基础。该研讨会的主要目标之一是对信号路径的物理描述（例如增益，延迟，旋转，耦合等），电场向量的相应转换与Stokes参数的等效变换之间的关系发展了解。通过Britton（2000）和Hamaker（2000）的工作，采用的代数/几何方法要么直接从或重大启发。
These workshop notes present an introduction to the concepts and mathematical foundations of polarimetry. One of the main goals of this workshop is to develop an understanding of the relationships between a physical description of the signal path (e.g. gain, delay, rotation, coupling, etc.), the corresponding transformations of the electric field vector, and the equivalent transformations of the Stokes parameters. The adopted algebraic/geometric approach is either directly copied from or heavily inspired by the work of Britton (2000) and Hamaker (2000), and some justification is provided for preferring these over other approaches and parameterizations.
