  • Abstract
    Depolarization has not been seen as an important impairment for Ka band (and above) telecommunication systems due to increased rain attenuation with respect to Ku-band. The most important databases on crosspolar discrimination (XPD) at Ka-bands were collected during the Olympus campaign, mainly at several sites in Northern Europe.
