Effect of raindrop shape on crosspolarisation/attenuation relationships
Abstract
Data are presented which indicate that the relationship between crosspolarization XPD and attenuation CPA strongly depends on raindrop shape and water temperature. Implications of this finding for the use of XPD/CPA relationship in radio link planning are discussed.
