Eplane&Hplane
Eplane&Hplane
(OP)
hi everybody
I have a problem about underestanding E-plane And H-plane
definition. I will be grateful If anybody can describe it easier for me or know any website which can be helpful.

RE: Eplane&Hplane
The H-plane would then be the floor (plane formed by the x and y axes). The H-plane can be translated in a linear fashion only, up and down the z-axis, by changing the value of z. It remains "horizontal" to the plane formed by the x and y axes. It's also like a plane that would slice horizontally through the earth at a fixed lattitude.
The E-plane, on the other hand, would be a vertical wall, perpendicular to the floor, and pivoting about a pole aligned with the z-axis. The E-plane can be pivoted only (not translated like the H-plane), by changing the reference angle formed between x and y axes. It would also be like picking a vertical plane to pass from the North pole downwards through opposite lines of longitude (i.e.180 degrees apart at the equator) onwards to the South pole.
The polar equivalent: the H-plane is defined by Theta=pi/2 for all values of Phi (0 to 2pi). The E-plane is defined by Phi=constant (often a reference angle of zero radians but not necessarily so) and all values of Theta = -pi to pi.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

RE: Eplane&Hplane
The E-plane is the plane of the electric field produced by the antenna elements and it is in the same plane as the elements. Imagine a dipole antenna with the electric field lines running from one element to the other.
The H-plane is the plane of the magnetic field and it is orthoganal to the E-plane and therefore it is at 90 degrees to the plane of the elements. Imagine a dipole with the currents in the elements creating rings of magnetic field surrounding them - the rings will be orthogonal to the elements.
RE: Eplane&Hplane
But, once you decide on a particular direction of radiation to be considered further, then you've also selected *THE* E-plane.

E - easy to bend
H - hard to bend
