This paper presents a coherent decomposition scheme for a few scattering matrix data. A simple model-fitting decomposition method is applied to retrieve scattering mechanism or identify scatterers based on the coherency matrix. The decomposition results are compared with some experimental data obtained by fully polarimetric FM-CW radar. It is shown the scattering mechanisms are well recovered and the orientation angles of wire scatterer are precisely measured.
