Crosspolar phase variations at 20 and 30 GHz on a satellite-earth path
Abstract
Linearly polarized 30-GHz signals received from the ATS-6 satellite have shown abrupt reversals in the crosspolar phase during lightning. The variations in crosspolar phase in the absence of lightning show a wider spread during heavy rain than during periods when the depolarization was not accompanied by significant copolar fading.
