A statistical approach to modeling and simulation of polarimetric electromagnetic fields backscattered from a reflecting body of a complex shape is described. A statistical scattering matrix is formulated and estimated for Rayleigh and Rician fluctuating (reciprocal and nonreciprocal) targets. The backscattered and received fields are modeled as a stochastic processes for arbitrary combination of transmit and receive polarization. A Monte Carlo simulation of a tank target is performed to verify the assumptions and approximations made and to demonstrate the feasibility of the real-time model. The results presented can be generalized to polarimetric clutter and to decoy modeling and simulation.<>
