Hi John, WA4WDL On the 2.4 GHz from AO-51 the transmitting polarization is Linear so that in theory for receiving 2.4 GHz RHCP or LHCP on the ground station don't make difference.
AO-51 Mode and Antenna Polarization: T: Linear V: Linear U: TX A (usually digital)LHCP TX B (usually analog) RHCP L: Linear S: Linear 73" de i8CVS Domenico ----- Original Message ----- From: "jmfranke" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 8:56 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 S-Band antenna polarization > Does anyone know the polarization of the 2.4 GHz transmissions from AO-51. > Are they circular?
