A procedure to measure and model the depolarization effects in the transmission across building materials is presented. From wideband measurements, this procedure isolates the effects of the obstacle from the antennas. A bidimensional complex matrix characterizes the obstacle, and depolarization indexes are obtained from its elements. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 24: 34–36, 2000.
