Recent propagation experiments in the Ka-band have shown that cross-polarisation discrimination is poorly predicted, mainly due to inadequate modelling of the effects of ice clouds. Ice cloud depolarisation is investigated at millimetre wavelengths and the implications in aeronautical and satellite communication systems are discussed.

Inspec keywords: satellite communication; ice; clouds; millimetre wave propagation; electromagnetic wave polarisation; atmospheric precipitation; aircraft communication; tropospheric electromagnetic wave propagation

Other keywords: ice cloud modelling; millimetre-wave aeronautical communications; millimetre-wave satellite communication; ice cloud depolarisation; cross-polarisation discrimination; Ka-band; EHF; propagation experiments
