    Abstract-In this paper, we investigate the performance of constellations optimized for transmissions in dual-polar mobile satellite applications. These four-dimensional constellations (inphase and quadrature per polarization) are designed for joint transmission over the two polarizations. Such constellations enhance the reliability of the system by providing certain redundancy into their design. Their performance is compared with transmission of independent 2D constellations over each polarization. As performance metrics, the pragmatic achievable mutual information and the bit error rate have been considered. The gains serve to indicate the need to further investigate 4D constellation design and its application in dual-polar MIMO systems
