How to find out the type of printed antenna polarization?

Hello All,

Can anybody give me some clues on How to find out the type of Polarization(vertical or Horizantal)in Printed antennas?

Suggest me the factors affecting the polarization.

The easiest way to find the polarization of your antenna is to use a setup in an anechoic chamber, and for antenna reference to use a calibrated λ/2 dipole, placed in vertical or horizontal position.

Hello Vodafone,

Thanks for the reply.
I got this,and I understand that while doing measurements.
Is there any thumb rule, by which we will know the type of polarization by seeing the mounting (or printing) on the PCB?

Also If I have a horizantal polarized printed antenna,Can you suggest me how to make it vertical polarized?

Advance thanks
Sekhar

just turn it 90 degrees.

Dear Zirtapoz,

Thanks for the reply.
