  Is it possible to carry out a simulation for a given structure and plot the polarization signature of the given structure in HFSS? An example of polarization signature: This plot is generated by Matlab using the scattering matrix of a structure. The expression of the scattering matrix S is:

  This is similar to the Jones matrix. As long as you can extract E scatterig for H and V compoments, you can excite the simulation with EH and EV. Suppose EH and EV have amplitude of 1 v/m, then the simulated scattering E will be the same as S, corresponding to H and V components.
