Abstract :
New models have been developed to analyze the performance of dual polarization frequency re-use links when affected simultaneously by attenuation and depolarization. The models have been used to determine the baseband signal to noise ratio for analog modulation links using FM and bit error rate for links using digital modulation (PSK). The methods are applicable to links using slant paths to satellites and also to terrestrial links.
