    Question

    Which one of the following antenna structures is best for generating a circularly polarized radiation?

    A.

    Helical antenna

    B.

    Log-periodic antenna

    C.

    Rhombic antenna

    D.

    Dipole antenna

    Correct option is A


    The helical antenna is the best structure for generating circularly polarized radiation. This is because:
    Helical antenna geometry: It consists of a helical coil of wire wound in the shape of a spring, which inherently produces a rotating electric field.
    Circular polarization: Occurs when the electric field rotates in a circular pattern, and this is achieved in helical antennas due to their unique shape and current distribution.
    Axial mode operation: When the helical antenna operates in the axial mode (where the radiation is along the axis of the helix), it generates circularly polarized radiation.
    Applications: Circular polarization is often required in satellite communication, radar systems, and GPS systems where the orientation of the receiver may vary.
