Polarization characteristics in terms of the complex polarization factor p
Abstract
An alternative expression to Beckman's description of the polarization efficiency of a receiving antenna is derived, by means of a systematic definition of coordinate systems. The meaning of orthogonal polarization and cross polarization becomes clear and suitable expressions are more readily obtained.
