How can circular polarisation be produced from two linear elements?

  • A.Feed them in phase with unequal amplitude
  • B.Feed them from a single point with a matched balun
  • C.Mount them at forty-five degrees to the horizontal
  • D.Feed them in quadrature with equal amplitude

Answer: D

Two orthogonal elements fed with equal amplitude and ninety degrees of phase difference produce a field whose vector rotates once per cycle, which is circular polarisation. Any departure from equal amplitude or from quadrature gives an ellipse instead. Feeding in phase gives a linear polarisation at forty-five degrees, which is what the last option describes as well. Helical antennas achieve the same end geometrically, by winding the conductor rather than by splitting the feed.
