Abstract :
The depolarisation of a linearly polarised signal at 30 GHz on an earth-satellite link has been observed in the absence of significant copolar fading (< 2 dB). Strong correlation between the depolarisation and radar reflections at high altitude along the satellite look angle has also been observed.
