Antenna Polarization
Radio waves emitting from a Yagi antenna are linear, leaving the antenna in the same plane as the antenna elements.
•
•
When the elements are positioned up and down, the radio waves are vertically polarized.
When the antenna elements are positioned left and right, the radio waves are horizontally polarized.
