Circular Polarization (cont.)
Circular polarization is often used in wireless communications to avoid problems with signal loss due to polarization mismatch.
Misalignment of transmit and receive antennas
Reflections off of building
Propagation through the ionosphere
Receive antenna
The receive antenna will always receive a signal, no matter how it is rotated about the z axis.
z
However, for the same incident power density, an optimum linearly-polarized wave will give the maximum output signal from this linearly-polarized antenna (3 dB higher than from an incident CP wave).
![Page 14: Prof. David R. Jackson Notes 17 Polarization of Plane Waves Polarization of Plane Waves ECE 3317 1 Spring 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dd45503460f94acc479/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Circular Polarization (cont.)
Two ways in which circular polarization can be obtained:
This antenna will radiate a RHCP signal in the positive z direction, and LHCP in the negative z direction.
Method 1) Use two identical antenna rotated by 90o, and fed 90o out of phase.

Circular Polarization (cont.)
An antenna that radiates circular polarization will also receive circular polarization of the same handedness (and be blind to the opposite handedness).
It does not matter how the receive antenna is rotated about the z axis.

Circular Polarization (cont.)
Summary of possible scenarios
1) Transmit antenna is LP, receive antenna is LP
Simple, works good if both antennas are aligned. The received signal is less if there is a misalignment.
2) Transmit antenna is CP, receive antenna is LP
Signal can be received no matter what the alignment is. The received signal is 3 dB less then for two aligned LP antennas.
3) Transmit antenna is CP, receive antenna is CP
Signal can be received no matter what the alignment is. There is never a loss of signal, no matter what the alignment is. The system is now more complicated.
