A depolarization and attenuation experiment using the COMSTAR and CTS satellites
Abstract
An experiment for measuring precipitation attenuation and depolarization on the CTS 11.7 and the COMSTAR 19.04 and 28.56 GHz downlinks is described. Attenuation scaling, effective path length, and the relationship between isolation and attenuation are discussed. Attenuation and effective path data are presented for the months of July, August, and September, 1977.
