Cross polar discrimination factorThe cross polar discrimination factor (XPD, usually expressedin dB) was computed as the ratio of the directivity to the co- andcross-polar componentsXPD = 10 · log |E cp| 2A.4. Depolarization parameter|E xp | 2 · (A.6)The depolarization parameter (d)wasobtainedbycomputingtheStokes parameters in each point of the regular UV- grid:S I (u,v) = E cp (u,v) 2 + E xp (u,v) 2S Q (u,v) = E cp (u,v) 2 − E xp (u,v) 2S U (u,v) = 2 · E cp (u,v) · E xp (u,v) · cos[δφ(u,v)]S V (u,v) = 2 · E cp (u,v) · E xp (u,v) · sin[δφ(u,v)](A.7)(A.8)(A.9)(A.10)in which E cp and E xp are the amplitude field of the co-polar andcross-polar components, respectively, and δφ is the phase differencebetween the co-polar and cross-polar fields. Then, over thewhole UV-plane, each parameter was summed:∑S N = S N (u,v) · ∆u∆v where N = I, Q, U, V (A.11)(u,v)and, finallyd(%) =⎛ √(S 2⎜⎝ 1 − Q + S U 2 + S V 2 )· 100. (A.12)S I⎞⎟⎠A.5. Rotation angleThe rotation angle of the polarization ellipse (τ, rangesfrom–90 ◦ to 90 ◦ )iscomputedasτ(u,v) = 1 2 · arctan S I(u,v)S U (u,v) ·(A.13)In Fig. A.1, therotationanglesofthe70GHzmainbeam#21and the 44 GHz main beam #24 (both X-polarized) are shownand it should be noted that the main beam is mainly linear polarizedclose to the main beam pointing direction, as discussed inSect. 5.A.6. SpilloverBy means of simple ray-tracing, the main beam spillover (whichpoints towards the Galactic plane) can be evaluated quickly foreach feed model, taking into account the radiation pattern of thefeed and the geometry of the optical system. This is a first approximationto the true spillover since it takes into account onlythe rays reflected by the subreflector that do not hit the mainreflector.A more precise but time-consuming computation of thespillover was performed using physical optics and the results arevery similar. With PO, the spillover was computed as 1 − W,where W is the relative power hitting the main reflector. Thepower contained in the incident field on the main reflector iscomputed by integrating Poynting’s vector P over the surface:P = 1 2 Re(E × H∗ ),(A.14)where Re denotes the real part and ∗ the complex conjugate. Thepower ∆W hitting a surface element with area ∆s becomes∆W = −P · ˆn∆s,(A.15)where P is the Poynting vector of the incident field and ˆn is theunit surface normal pointing towards the illuminated side of thesurface. The total power W on the surface becomes∫ ∫W = − P(r ′ ) · ˆn(r ′ )ds ′ ,(A.16)Swhich is a surface integral with the integration variable (r ′ ).ReferencesBersanelli, M., Mandolesi, N., Butler, R.
