POLARISATION

The polarization of an electromagnetic wave is defined as the orientation of the electric field vector.

Polarization (also polarisation) is a property of certain types of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. Electomagnetic waves, such as light, and gravitational waves exhibit polarization

Types Of Polarisation:1. Linear Polarisation

2. Circullar Polarisation 3. Ellipstical polarisation

Types of Polarisation

Linear Polarisation:A plane electromagnetic (EM) wave is characterized by travelling in a single direction (with no field variation in the two orthogonal directions). In this case, the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction the plane wave is propagating.

Kinds Of Linear Polarisation:1. VERTICAL POLARISATION

An antenna is said to be vertically polarized (linear) when its electric field is perpendicular to the Earth's surface. An example of a vertical antenna is a broadcast tower for AM radio or the "whip" antenna on an automobile.

2.HORIZONTAL POLARISATION:-

Horizontally polarized (linear) antennas have their electric field parallel to the Earth's surface. Television transmissions in the USA use horizontal polarization.

Circullar Polarisation:A circular polarized wave radiates energy in both the horizontal and vertical planes and all planes in between.

Ellipstical Polarisation:Elliptically polarizationconsists of two perpendicular waves of unequal amplitude which differ in phase by 90. The illustration shows right- elliptically polarized light.
