The influence of polarization on millimeter wave propagation through rain

The influence of polarization on millimeter wave propagation is investigated from both an experimental and a theoretical viewpoint. First, previous theoretical and experimental work relating to the attenuation and depolarization of millimeter waves by rainfall is discussed. Considerable detail is included in the literature review. Next, a theoretical model is developed to predict the cross polarization level during rainfall from the path average rain rate and the scattered field from a single raindrop. Finally, data from the VPI and SU depolarization experiment are presented as verification of the new model, and a comparison is made with other theories and experiments. Aspects of the new model are: (1) spherical rather than plane waves are assumed, (2) the average drop diameter is used rather than a drop size distribution, and (3) it is simple enough so that the effect which changing one or more parameters has on the crosspolarization level is easily seen

Polarization effects in millimeter wave propagation through rain: A review of present theory and a discussion of current experiments

An attempt was made to calculate the depolarization effects of rain on linearly or elliptically polarized millimeter waves. Results are given in graphs and tables

The influence of polarization on millimeter wave propagation through rain

The measurement and analysis of the depolarization and attenuation that occur when millimeter wave radio signals propagate through rain are described. Progress was made in three major areas: the processing of recorded 1972 data, acquisition and processing of a large amount of 1973 data, and the development of a new theoretical model to predict rain cross polarization and attenuation. Each of these topics is described in detail along with radio frequency system design for cross polarization measurements

A 20 Ghz Depolarization Experiment Using the ATS-6 Satellite

A depolarization experiment using the 20 GHz downlink from the ATS-6 satellite was described. The following subjects were covered: (1) an operational summary of the experiment, (2) a description of the equipment used with emphasis on improvements made to the signal processing receiver used with the ATS-5 satellite, (3) data on depolarization and attenuation in one snow storm and two rain storms at 45 deg elevation, (4) data on low angle propagation, (5) conclusions about depolarization on satellite paths, and (6) recommendations for the depolarization portion of the CTS experiment

The rotatory power of commercial glucose and grape sugar : a method of determining the amount of reducing substance present by the polariscope

In "the trade" the name "Grape Sugar" is applied only to the solid product obtained from corn starch. On the other hand, the term "Glucose" is given to the thick syrup made from the same material. ..
