How to detect RHCP and LHCP waves
Hi,
How can I detect the polarization (right or left hand) of CP wave with a short dipole antenna (receiver) with a power detector (a diode detector)?
I have smt in my mind but not sure....
I know short dipole will have a linear polarization. so it will be x^ or y^ .... (vertical or horizontal pol.)
E_wave= Ex ± j Ey
and V= - ∫ E_wave • dl
So according to the output voltage - or + I can differentiate the incoming waves...
any suggestions?...
thanks
