Question

Select the correct statement(s) regarding antenna and RF wave polarization.

a. a vertically polarized RF wave cannot be collected by a horizontally polarized antenna
b. right-hand circular polarization is said to be orthogonal to left-hand circular polarization
c. signals of the same frequency can be transmitted together in an non-interfering manner as long as their polarizations are orthogonal to one another
d. all statements are correct

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Polarization is simple for most antennas to determine. It is only on the same level as the antenna components. A vertically polarised antenna (that is one with vertical elements) is better received and a horizontal antenna is equally provided with horizontally polarised signals.

B. The left-hand circular polarization is named if the electric chambers vector rotates counter-clockwise as far as they are from the antenna.

The right-hand circular polarisation is named as the electric field vector rotates counter-clockwise as far as it gets from the antenna.

It then goes without stating the polarisation on the right hand is orthogonal to the left.

C. signals of the same frequency can be transmitted together in an non-interfering manner as long as their polarizations are orthogonal to one another. This too a correct statement.
