Wireless Technology Lab., Kyung Hee University Design Goal -S-Band Patch Antenna Size80 X 80 mm Bandwidth60 MHz (2.185~2.245 GHz) Antenna Polarization Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) RHCP GainOver 5 dB ic Axial RatioBelow 3 dB

Wireless Technology Lab., Kyung Hee University Antenna Polarization(1) -What is the Antenna Polarization The polarization of an antenna is the direction of the electric field (E-plane) of the radio wave with respect to the Earth's surface and is determined by the physical structure of the antenna and by its direction. Vertical Polarization Horizontal Polarization LH Circular Polarization RH Circular Polarization

Wireless Technology Lab., Kyung Hee University Antenna Polarization(2) -Why use the CP antenna for CINEMA? Space communication has forced the use of Circular polarization. The fundamental advantage of circular polarization is that all reflections change the direction of polarization, precluding the usual addition or subtraction of main and reflected signals. Therefore there is far less fading and flutter when circular polarization is used at each end of the link.
