  2. Circular polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_polarization

    Circular polarization is a limiting case of elliptical polarization. The other special case is the easier-to-understand linear polarization . All three terms were coined by Augustin-Jean Fresnel , in a memoir read to the French Academy of Sciences on 9 December 1822.

  3. Vivaldi antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_antenna

    Vivaldi antennas can be made for linear polarized waves or – using two devices arranged in orthogonal direction – for transmitting / receiving both polarization orientations. If fed with 90° phase-shifted signals, orthogonal devices can transmit/receive circular -oriented electromagnetic waves .

  4. Reflectarray antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflectarray_antenna

    A reflectarray antenna ... Circular polarization is commonly used to reduce the effect of atmospheric depolarization on the communication system performance. [17]

  5. Orthomode transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomode_transducer

    The port facing the parabolic reflector of the antenna is a circular polarizing port so that horizontal and vertical polarity coupling of inbound and outbound radio signal is easily achieved. The 40 dB isolation provides essential protection to the very sensitive receiver amplifier against burn out from the relatively high-power signal of the ...

  6. Antenna diversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_diversity

    Polarization diversity combines pairs of antennas with orthogonal polarizations (i.e. horizontal/vertical, ± slant 45°, Left-hand/Right-hand circular polarization etc.). Reflected signals can undergo polarization changes depending on the medium through which they are traveling.

  7. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

    When the phase shift is exactly ±90°, and the amplitudes are the same, then circular polarization is produced ... Interactive Java tutorial; Antenna Polarization;

  8. Turnstile antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile_antenna

    Circular polarization was used for spacecraft (satellite and missile) communication, since circular polarization is not sensitive to the relative orientation of the antennas, and the space vehicle's antenna could have any orientation with respect to the ground antenna. High gain Yagi turnstile antennas were often used for the ground station.

  9. E-plane and H-plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-plane_and_H-plane

    The electric field or "E" plane determines the polarization or orientation of the radio wave. For a vertically polarized antenna, the E-plane usually coincides with the vertical/elevation plane. For a horizontally polarized antenna, the E-Plane usually coincides with the horizontal/azimuth plane. E- plane and H-plane should be 90 degrees apart.
