Title
Instantaneous polarization statistics of electromagnetic waves
Abstract
The problem of statistical description of instantaneous polarization of electromagnetic waves is studied. First, the physical meanings of instantaneous Stokes vectors' components are analyzed, which provide a short cut for solving statistical distribution functions of instantaneous Stokes vectors. Second, in the condition of Gaussian hypothesis, the analytical expressions of probability density function (PDF) of instantaneous Stokes vectors are presented. Finally, some computation results are presented in the condition of two independent polarization channels, which show the validity and simplicity of the statistical description method.
