Question

What is the polarization loss factor due to mismatch if the two linear polarized antennas are rotated by an angle ∅?

(a) tan⁡∅

(b) cos⁡∅

(c) cos^2∅

(d) cos^-1⁡∅

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) cos^2∅

Explanation: The polarization loss factor describes the power loss due to polarization mismatch. The polarization loss factor due to mismatch if the two linear polarized antennas are rotated by an angle ∅ is given by PLF =cos^2∅.
