Abstract :
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
