Because it is hard to calculate the TOPMD statistical properties by analytic method, in this paper the modulator method is adopted. So based on polarization-maintaining fiber model, the vector's property and its components are studied by using the Jones Transmission Matrix method. The study show that a 1000-pieces PMF model can represent a purpose very well. Even if we add more pieces in the study model, the histogram of properties have small changes. We can take the simulation result as the theory result. A nPC+nPMF model is used to build the third-order PMDE. The statistical properties of the PMDE is in line with the theory results. This study provides the basis for the TOPMD adaptive compensation.
