Considering the different heights of transmitting and receiving antennas and the height variation of the superrefractive layer, the multipath depolarization statistical distributions due to clear air, the equiprobability linear relationship between cross‐polarization (XPD) and copolarized attenuation (CPA) is studied based on computer simulation at a 7.6 GHz frequency. The computer simulation results show that the slope values of the equiprobability linear relationship between XPD and CPA vary in the interval from −1 to 0, which is different from earlier theoretical results. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
