Thanks pstuckey, but I dont at all understand why horizontal and vertical polarization will experience different phase shifts if they are both propagating normal to the refecting surface. Although, assuming the convention that the polarization sense is defined by the direction of rotation as...
Hello,
I am confused as to what happens to a circularly polarized wave when it encounters a perfect conductor and is scattered back to the transmitter. I have always just accepted that if the number of "bounces" it undergoes is odd (say it's reflected from a perfectly conducting flat plate or a...
So, Higgler, what you are saying is if I put two identical H polarized horns (one Tx and One Rx) on an antenna range facing one another, I could measure the phase difference between the transmit and receive with a network analyzer for instance and use this phase difference as a reference. If I...
I have really been struggling with this one: I have read that in a data link for instance, where there is a transmit antenna at one end of the link and a receive antenna at the other end, if CP is used, you want to employ antennae of the same polarization sense. I came up with a simple...
