Reduction of inter-satellite interference by means of polarization diversity
Abstract
It is proposed to employ orthogonally polarized carriers on immediately adjacent satellites to reduce cross-satellite interference under clear weather conditions. Using a spherical coordinate system and vector formulation, a natural polarization system and two optimum polarization systems are defined. The cross-coupling factors that determine the amount of inter-satellite interference signal levels are obtained. The effects of minimum allowable intersatellite spacing on the different polarization systems and cross-coupling factors are discussed.
