As is well known that if a matrix has a \(\phi_J\) polar decomposition, then it is of even rank. This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for a \(2n\)-by-\(2n\) matrix of rank 2 to have a \(\phi_J\) polar decomposition. The main result is proved by reducing an arbitrary matrix via symplectic row and column operations into matrices of simpler forms.
