Abstract
In this paper an attempt has been made to compute cross polarization of millimeter waves in the 30-35 GHz frequency range due to rain. Assuming Laws and Parson's [Laws JO and Parsons DA, 1943] drop size distributions for oblate spheroid drops at 20 /spl deg/C ITU-R method [ITU-R, 1990] has been used to predict depolarization (XPD) for circular polarization. The study includes a number of earth stations in a temperate country like India, namely, Allahabad, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Delhi, Gangtok, Jodhpur, Madras, Nagpur and Trivandrum. Variations of co-polar attenuation with XPD ha been shown. Cumulative time distribution of XPD has also been presented. The study reveals that cross polarization depends on frequency, path elevation angle, co-polar attenuation and rainfall rate.
