Since the early works on diffraction of chaff, there has been no mathematical modelization available for a real physical solution. This work presents one and gives a rigorous exploitation of the polarization behavior. One can find here a general model which can take into account all the phenomena appearing in a cloud of dipoles: the polarimetric effects, the mask, and the coupling influences. This development is new and can be generalized for clouds of spheres, discs, cylinders, or other simple shapes [1, 2]. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.
