Table 1.

Summary of the influence of the parameters on the DoLP. Column 1 explains the changes made to the test case. The results for the test case are given in the first line. Columns 2 and 3 are the altitude at which the local DoLP maximises and the percentage change compared with the test case, respectively. Columns 4 and 5 are the maximum local DoLP and percentage change, respectively. Columns 6 and 7 are the line-of-sight integrated DoLP and the percentage change, respectively. The relevant figure for each result is given in column 9.
