Abstract
Cross-polarised antenna systems are an attractive way to reduce equipment size while maintaining low inter-antenna correlation. The cross-polar discrimination (XPD) is an important parameter of cross-polarised systems. Starting from the definition of Ricean fading channels, it is shown that the small-scale variations of the XPD have a doubly non-central F-distribution. The simulated XPD distribution obtained as a function of the Ricean parameters is successfully compared with measurement results for validation.
