Chapter 14: Problem 23
A turnstile antenna consists of two crossed dipole antennas, positioned in this case in the \(x y\) plane. The dipoles are identical, lie along the \(x\) and \(y\) axes, and are both fed at the origin. Assume that equal currents are supplied to each antenna and that a zero phase reference is applied to the \(x\) -directed antenna. Determine the relative phase, \(\xi\), of the \(y\) -directed antenna so that the net radiated electric field as measured on the positive \(z\) axis is \((a)\) left circularly polarized; \((b)\) linearly polarized along the \(45^{\circ}\) axis between \(x\) and \(y\).
