Diffuse or dense multipath components play an important role in determining the polarization behavior of wireless transmission channels. In this communication, we parametrize a polarimetric diffuse scattering model in two indoor environments. Our method relies on the empirical extraction of dense multipaths by means of a high resolution algorithm and on the investigation of the properties of this diffuse component. The analysis reveals that diffuse scattering significantly depolarizes the impinging wave in indoor scenarios, yielding cross-polar discrimination values close to 0 dB.
