What does the polarisation of an antenna describe?

  • A.The ratio of electric to magnetic field in the far field
  • B.The orientation of the radiated electric field vector
  • C.The direction in which the antenna radiates most strongly
  • D.The sense in which current flows along the element

Answer: B

Polarisation is the figure traced by the tip of the electric field vector as time passes, observed in the direction of propagation, and it may be linear, circular or elliptical. A horizontal dipole radiates a horizontally polarised wave. The direction of maximum radiation is the beam direction, current sense is a circuit matter, and the ratio of the fields is the intrinsic impedance of the medium. Matching polarisation between transmitter and receiver is as important as matching impedance.
