In this paper, a Markov chain analysis is performed to uncover the duration statistics of a land mobile satellite system capable of switching between MIMO and Dual Circular Polarisation Multiplexing (DCPM). Capacities have been computed using synthetic and measurement campaign data to show that DCPM is a viable alternative to MIMO and depends on the cross-polar discrimination (XPD) ratio exceeding a certain minimum value.
