Abstract :
A simple technique, time division circular polarization (TDCP), is described which permits the simultaneous measurement of attenuation and depolarization for two orthogonal linearly polarized waves and two orthogonal circularly polarized waves in a slowly varying linear propagation medium using only a single frequency beacon switched between two linearly polarized antenna ports.
