For line of sight communications where can I look up the signal loss due
to polarization difference for a given receiving antenna polarization facing
a transmitting antenna with a known different polarization? Al-N7EQF

Theoretically, the loss between vertical and horizontal polarization is
infinite. However, in the real world, 20 dB is the generally accepted
figure. In specific cases, the loss can be at least 30 dB and occasionally
greater.
Where circular polarization is concerned the same theoretical
