Calculation of signal plane angles and losses for linear polarized H/V switchable antenna | |
Many of us use
crossed Yagi antennas with switchable H and V linear polarization. Since
the polarization plane of the received signal is usually twisted due to
the spatial angle and Faraday rotation, strong stations can usually be
received by both H and V antennas with different strengths. Excel spread
sheet - see link, allows to calculate the polarization plane twist
angles and the resulting losses to orthogonal polarizations from the
signal level values given by WSJT-X. The polarization planes determined
in this way are in principle two, but the losses are the same in both
cases. If we have a rotary feed at higher microwave bands (e.g., 10 GHz,
where F. rotation is negligible) can measure V and H polarizations and
the angles should correspond to the WSJT-X Dpol data.
