Abstract
The behaviours of linear polarizations at 2.15, 5.3 and 61.7 GHz in corridors are studied in this paper. It shows that there is no significant difference between the received powers for vertical and horizontal polarizations. Depolarization is obvious at 2.15 GHz due to different antenna type is applied at the receiver, and it is more serious in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) cases.
