Abstract
We examine the possibility of experimental study of the polarization and polarization-amplitude properties of nonlinear scatterers using sets of polarization patterns. We give examples of the sets of polarization patterns measured at the frequency of the second harmonic of the sounding signal. We point out the significant difference between the polarization and polarization-amplitude properties of elementary and complex nonlinear scatterers. An elementary nonlinear scatterer is shown to be a polarization-selective object whose properties can be described completely on the basis of measurements.
