Elliptical Polarization
In
electrodynamics
elliptical polarization
is the
polarization
of
electromagnetic radiation
such that the tip of the
electric field
vector describes an
ellipse
in any fixed plane intersecting, and
normal
to, the direction of propagation. An
elliptically polarized wave
may be resolved into two
linearly polarized waves
in
phase
quadrature
with their polarization planes at right angles to each other. All forms of polarization can be considered elliptical, including
circular
and
linear polarization
.
