Analysis of Cross-Polarization Discrimination Due to Rain for Earth–Space Satellite Links Operating at Millimetre-Wave Frequencies in Pretoria, South Africa

Analysis of Cross-Polarization Discrimination Due to Rain for Earth–Space Satellite Links Operating at Millimetre-Wave Frequencies in Pretoria, South Africa

This study investigates the impact of rain-induced attenuation on cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) in Earth–space satellite links operating at millimeter-wave frequencies in Pretoria, South Africa. The traditional method of computing XPD employs a constant annual mean rain height and annual m...
