  • Abstract
    The Fredholm-integral method is used to calculate accurate forward and backward scattering amplitudes of spheroidal ice particles for several frequencies in the range 4¿30 GHz. Using a valuable oblique-angle rule, crosspolarisation at any elevation angle may be deduced. The implications of crosspolarisation on satellite paths are discussed.
