Abstract :
Apparent antenna gain and polarization effects are dealt with for the case when random scatterers make the received field diffuse. First order multiple scattering and Stokes space concepts are used, respectively, for description of phenomena. Polarization diversity performance is also dealt with, using a novel approach
