Probably a dumb question...but I noticed in going thru Gene's link budget spreadsheet that when you enter circular polarization for the K-band downlink you get an advantage...I thought the K-band downlink was linear polarized? Shouldn't you actually take a 3dB hit using circular on K downlink? (and of course a potentially infinite hit using linear--but we'll think positive for now).
Or am I all wet?
Thanks,
