ABSTRACT:
The composition of an object within a wireless communication channel is determined by analyzing a symmetry characteristic of a polarization pattern of a received signal. The signal is transmitted through the communication channel using a known polarization. A receiver receives the signal and determines a symmetry characteristic of the polarization pattern of the received signal. The symmetry characteristic is matched to a stored symmetry characteristic to determine the composition of the object. Based on the composition of the object, the susceptibility of the wireless communication channel to wind-induced fading can be determined.
