Radio Waves and Signal Polarisation HF, VHF and UHF
Radio waves are (mostly) either vertical or horizontally polarised - although we can also have circular polarisation too. What impact does this have on the transmission and reception of radio signals? Callum.

In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of radio signal polarization. The discussion covers the basics of vertical and horizontal polarization, their significance, and how different types of antennas like Yagi and dipole work with these polarizations. We'll also explore the concept of circular polarization, commonly used in FM broadcasting to ensure minimal signal loss regardless of the receiving antenna's orientation. Additionally, you'll learn about how polarization affects signal propagation through the ionosphere, especially for amateur radio operators. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, this video provides valuable insights into understanding and optimizing radio communication.
