Nowadays one can consider that a theory of polarized signals is complete for the linear systems. This theory lies on the following principles: the polarized structure can be determined independently from its time structure; the time structure of the polarized signals is considered identical and generally sinusoidal; polarized structure of the signals is corresponds to the polarization basis. According to those principles, the main goal of the article is to make a basement for the main polarimetry results propagation for the wider range of applications.

The polarization parameters for an arbitrary analytical Jones vector are calculated, but those parameters are time-dependent, on the contrary with the sinusoidal signals, where those parameters are time-constant. This fact shows the main difference between the orthodoxal polarization theory and the polarization of non-sinusoidal signals. For the rest, these two theories are fully compatible. The pair of arbitrary analytical signals, which build a Jones vector, can be divided into two orthogonal Jones vectors. Moreover, the phase polarization parameters for those separate Jones vectors are not time-dependent, which means that those vectors are fully polarized. After that, some examples of decomposition are presented. As a conclusion, we can say that any pair of arbitrary signals can be empowered with a polarization structure, which means that for this pair there exists a decomposition in arbitrary orthogonal polarization basis.
