The polarimetric information has been widely used to interpret the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) scene. Hence, many decompositions have been introduced to extract polarimetric parameters with a physical meaning. Nevertheless, for most of them, the reciprocity assumption is assumed. For a bistatic PolSAR sensor, the cross-polarization terms of the scattering matrix are not equal. This paper presents a generalization of the Target Scattering Vector Model (TSVM) to the bistatic case.
