Abstract
A 2 km long horizontal link at 12 GHz is set up to provide measurements of depolarization. CW signal is transmitted sequentially (each 1msec) in vertical, horizontal and canted (45 degrees ) polarization. Synchronous detection allows one to determine co- and crosspolar fields, in amplitude and phase, in `Cartesian' form. Fields are expressed in terms of Stokes parameters and covariance matrix. Numerical recording on magnetic tape allows one to analyse depolarization up to a fluctuation frequency of 167 Hz. Visualisation and correction of crosspolarization are also treated.
