  • Abstract
    The definition and formulas for cross polarization, phase error, and illumination efficiency given by Ludwig and Thomas are shown to not always account for the correct cross polarization and phase error loss. New definitions and formulas are proposed that give a better separation of the losses associated with cross-polarized radiation, phase errors, and nonuniform aperture illumination.
