Rain- induced cross polarization is an important factor in the design of dual-polarization microwave radio communication systems. In this work we present the scattering effect of oblate spheroidal raindrops on Earth-space wave communication in the frequency band 1–52 GHz in three tropical locations: Ile-Ife, Nigeria (4.340E, 7.330N), Douala, Cameroon (9.700E, 4.050N), and Nairobi, Kenya…
