Abstract :
At certain frequencies, removal of the differential phase contribution to rain-induced microwave crosspolarisation may produce adequate crosstalk improvement in dual-polarised links. Rotating section polarisers are shown to be capable of this removal in the presence of differential attenuation, and one-parameter approximations to the operation are shown to exist.
