Abstract :
Rain anisotropy and canting angle data, obtained during a two-year measurement campaign on a short terrestrial radio link at 30 GHz are presented. The purpose of the campaign was to obtain the full-matrix description of a dual-polarization transfer channel at 30 GHz in the presence of rain and to model it by means of two physical parameters, anisotropy and canting angle, proposed in the literature some years ago and widely accepted in the scientific community both for terrestrial and slant paths. Event-based and statistical results are presented and studied in the light of current models of rain microphysics
