1) the polarization of an elliptically polarized wave compared to the polarization of another wave of the same kind and such that:
a) the directions of propagation are the same
b) the planes of polarization are the same
c) the polarization ellipses have the same eccentricity, but perpendicular major axes and opposite senses of rotation
2) the polarization of a linearly polarized wave compared to the polarization of another wave of the same kind and such that:
a) the directions of propagation are the same
b) the electric flux density vectors are perpendicular
NOTE – In English, the term "cross-polarization" has another connotation.
