Dust-storm induced cross-polarization at MMW dands in Northern Nigeria

Sand and Dust storms have the potentiality of causing microwave degradation for substantial percentage of time which can lead to drop in the availability and quality of services rendered by communication systems. This paper investigates induced cross-polarization by dust storms at MMW bands. It intr...
