  • Abstract
    A model for crosspolarisation on satellite-Earth radio paths is proposed in which particles lying in the horizontal plane under aerodynamic-gravitational forces are aligned by electric fields. This model explains the abrupt crosspolarisation magnitude changes and abrupt 180° phase changes recently observed on satellite-Earth paths at microwave frequencies.
