72-517: The MRT is a T-shaped array consisting of a 2048m-long East-West arm with 1024 fixed helical antennas arranged in 32 groups and an 880m-long North-South arm with 15 movable trolleys, each containing four antennas. There is a single trolley in the North arm. The North-South arm is built along the old Port Louis to Flacq railway line which closed in 1964. The antennas collect radio waves and transform them into electric signals. The signal from each group

144-416: A ⁠ 1  / 4 ⁠ wave antenna at 27 MHz is 2.7 m (110 inches; 8.9 feet) long and is physically quite unsuitable for mobile applications. The reduced size of a helical provides the same radiation pattern in a much more compact physical size with only a slight reduction in signal performance. An effect of using a helical conductor rather than a straight one is that the matching impedance

216-519: A birefringent surface). Note that this principle only holds strictly for light reflected at normal incidence. For instance, right circularly polarized light reflected from a dielectric surface at grazing incidence (an angle beyond the Brewster angle ) will still emerge as right-handed, but elliptically polarized. Light reflected by a metal at non-normal incidence will generally have its ellipticity changed as well. Such situations may be solved by decomposing

288-417: A luminophore or an ensemble of luminophores is chiral . The extent to which emissions are polarized is quantified in the same way it is for circular dichroism , in terms of the dissymmetry factor , also sometimes referred to as the anisotropy factor . This value is given by: where θ l e f t {\displaystyle \theta _{\mathrm {left} }} corresponds to

360-413: A traveling-wave antenna , with the amplitude of the current decreasing going up the shaft as the energy is radiated. At top the current is down by 40 dB, so there isn't much reflection. To radiate perpendicularly, the length of each turn must be a multiple of the wavelength , in most antennas 2 wavelengths. The antenna has a bandwidth of only 6-7%, so to make it adjustable to different frequencies

432-534: A wavelength , a 90° phase difference. It is this quadrature phase relationship that creates the helix and causes the points of maximum magnitude of the vertical component to correspond with the points of zero magnitude of the horizontal component, and vice versa. The result of this alignment are select vectors, corresponding to the helix, which exactly match the maxima of the vertical and horizontal components. To appreciate how this quadrature phase shift corresponds to an electric field that rotates while maintaining

504-446: A circularly polarized electromagnetic wave, the individual electric field vectors, as well as their combined vector, have a constant magnitude , and with changing phase angle. Given that this is a plane wave , each vector represents the magnitude and direction of the electric field for an entire plane that is perpendicular to the optical axis. Specifically, given that this is a circularly polarized plane wave , these vectors indicate that

576-411: A constant magnitude, imagine a dot traveling clockwise in a circle. Consider how the vertical and horizontal displacements of the dot, relative to the center of the circle, vary sinusoidally in time and are out of phase by one quarter of a cycle. The displacements are said to be out of phase by one quarter of a cycle because the horizontal maximum displacement (toward the left) is reached one quarter of

648-430: A cycle before the vertical maximum displacement is reached. Now referring again to the illustration, imagine the center of the circle just described, traveling along the axis from the front to the back. The circling dot will trace out a helix with the displacement toward our viewing left, leading the vertical displacement. Just as the horizontal and vertical displacements of the rotating dot are out of phase by one quarter of

720-431: A cycle in time, the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the electric field are out of phase by one quarter of a wavelength. The next pair of illustrations is that of left-handed, counterclockwise circularly polarized light when viewed by the receiver. Because it is left-handed, the rightward (relative to the direction of travel) horizontal component is now lagging the vertical component by one quarter of

792-416: A directional antenna only radiation in one direction is wanted, the other end of the helix is terminated in a flat metal sheet or screen reflector to reflect the waves forward. In radio transmission , circular polarisation is often used where the relative orientation of the transmitting and receiving antennas cannot be easily controlled, such as in animal tracking and spacecraft communications , or where

864-459: A distinct CD to its respective molecules. Therefore, the alpha helix , beta sheet and random coil regions of proteins and the double helix of nucleic acids have CD spectral signatures representative of their structures. Also, under the right conditions, even non-chiral molecules will exhibit magnetic circular dichroism — that is, circular dichroism induced by a magnetic field. Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) can occur when either

936-541: A memoir read to the French Academy of Sciences on 9 December 1822. Fresnel had first described the case of circular polarization, without yet naming it, in 1821. The phenomenon of polarization arises as a consequence of the fact that light behaves as a two-dimensional transverse wave . Circular polarization occurs when the two orthogonal electric field component vectors are of equal magnitude and are out of phase by exactly 90°, or one-quarter wavelength. In

1008-441: A right-handed helix radiates a wave which is right-handed, the electric field vector rotating clockwise looking in the direction of propagation. Helical antennas can receive signals with any type of linear polarisation , such as horizontal or vertical polarisation, but when receiving circularly polarized signals the handedness of the receiving antenna must be the same as the transmitting antenna; left-hand polarized antennas suffer

1080-414: A severe loss of gain when receiving right-circularly-polarized signals, and vice versa. The dimensions of the helix are determined by the wavelength ( λ ) of the radio waves used, which depends on the frequency . In order to operate in axial-mode, the circumference should be equal to the wavelength. The pitch angle should be 13°, which is a pitch distance (distance between each turn) of 0.23 times

1152-516: A single former and spaced so as to provide an efficient balance between capacitance and inductance for the radiating element at a particular resonant frequency. Many examples of this type have been used extensively for 27 MHz CB radio with a wide variety of designs originating in the US and Australia in the late 1960s. To date many millions of these ‘helical antennas’ have been mass-produced for mainly mobile vehicle use and reached peak production during

1224-402: A specific example, refer to the circularly polarized wave in the first animation. Using this convention, that wave is defined as right-handed because when one points one's right thumb in the same direction of the wave's propagation, the fingers of that hand curl in the same direction of the field's temporal rotation. It is considered clockwise circularly polarized because, from the point of view of

1296-424: A wavelength, rather than leading it. To convert circularly polarized light to the other handedness, one can use a half- waveplate . A half-waveplate shifts a given linear component of light one half of a wavelength relative to its orthogonal linear component. The handedness of polarized light is reversed reflected off a surface at normal incidence. Upon such reflection, the rotation of the plane of polarization of

1368-420: Is an antenna consisting of one or more conducting wires wound in the form of a helix . A helical antenna made of one helical wire, the most common type, is called monofilar , while antennas with two or four wires in a helix are called bifilar , or quadrifilar , respectively. In most cases, directional helical antennas are mounted over a ground plane , while omnidirectional designs may not be. The feed line

1440-589: Is an orthogonal 2 × 2 {\displaystyle 2\times 2} matrix whose columns span the transverse x-y plane; and c {\displaystyle c} is the speed of light . Here, is the amplitude of the field, and is the normalized Jones vector in the x-y plane. If α y {\displaystyle \alpha _{y}} is rotated by π / 2 {\displaystyle \pi /2} radians with respect to α x {\displaystyle \alpha _{x}} and

1512-410: Is at a right angle to the electric field vector and proportional in magnitude to it. As a result, the magnetic field vectors would trace out a second helix if displayed. Circular polarization is often encountered in the field of optics and, in this section, the electromagnetic wave will be simply referred to as light . The nature of circular polarization and its relationship to other polarizations

1584-476: Is changed from the nominal 50  Ω to between 25 and 35 Ω base impedance. This does not seem to be adverse to operation or matching with a normal 50 Ω transmission line , provided the connecting feed is the electrical equivalent of a ⁠ 1  / 2 ⁠  wavelength at the frequency of operation. Another example of the type as used in mobile communications is spaced constant turn in which one or more different linear windings are wound on

1656-423: Is connected between the bottom of the helix and the ground plane. Helical antennas can operate in one of two principal modes: normal or axial. In the normal mode or broadside helical antenna, the diameter and the pitch of the aerial are small compared with the wavelength . The antenna acts similarly to an electrically short dipole or monopole , equivalent to a ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ wave vertical and

1728-416: Is consistent with their convention of handedness for a particle's spin. Radio astronomers also use this convention in accordance with an International Astronomical Union (IAU) resolution made in 1973. In this alternative convention, polarization is defined from the point of view of the receiver. Using this convention, left- or right-handedness is determined by pointing one's left or right thumb toward

1800-484: Is defined by its electric field vector. In the case of a circularly polarized wave, the tip of the electric field vector , at a given point in space, relates to the phase of the light as it travels through time and space. At any instant of time, the electric field vector of the wave indicates a point on a helix oriented along the direction of propagation. A circularly polarized wave can rotate in one of two possible senses: right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) in which

1872-458: Is defined from the point of view of the source. When using this convention, left- or right-handedness is determined by pointing one's left or right thumb away from the source, in the same direction that the wave is propagating, and matching the curling of one's fingers to the direction of the temporal rotation of the field at a given point in space. When determining if the wave is clockwise or anti-clockwise circularly polarized, one again takes

A point source catalogue of around 100,000 objects is to be produced. Already 3 observation rounds of the southern sky have been made. In addition, solar data has also been collected. About 300 GB of raw data has been collected. The MRT project intends The MRT, first commissioned in 1992,

2016-464: Is filtered, amplified and sent to the telescope building where it is digitized. The digitized signals are processed in a correlator . Linux systems using custom software transform these correlated signals into raw images called "dirty maps". The MRT uses aperture synthesis to simulate a 1 km by 1 km filled array. Data is collected as the trolleys in the North-South arm move southward from

2088-517: Is good practice to specify "as defined from the point of view of the source" or "as defined from the point of view of the receiver" when discussing polarization matters. The archive of the US Federal Standard 1037C proposes two contradictory conventions of handedness. Note that the IEEE defines RHCP and LHCP the opposite as those used by physicists. The IEEE 1979 Antenna Standard will show RHCP on

2160-466: Is no distinction between p and s , are the Fresnel coefficients for the two components identical, leading to the above property. Circularly polarized light can be converted into linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter- waveplate . Passing linearly polarized light through a quarter-waveplate with its axes at 45° to its polarization axis will convert it to circular polarization. In fact, this

The vertical component and its corresponding plane are illustrated in blue, while the horizontal component and its corresponding plane are illustrated in green. Notice that the rightward (relative to the direction of travel) horizontal component leads the vertical component by one quarter of

Sastry of the IIA, the project was run by Prof. N. Uday Shankar of the RRI for nearly 5 years. The Head of MRT in Mauritius rotates between Dr Nalini Issur, Dr Girish Beeharry and Dr Radhakhrishna Somanah. Helical antennas A helical antenna

2376-421: Is significant confusion with regards to these two conventions. As a general rule, the engineering, quantum physics, and radio astronomy communities use the first convention, in which the wave is observed from the point of view of the source. In many physics textbooks dealing with optics, the second convention is used, in which the light is observed from the point of view of the receiver. To avoid confusion, it

2448-493: Is the most common way of producing circular polarization in practice. Note that passing linearly polarized light through a quarter-waveplate at an angle other than 45° will generally produce elliptical polarization. Circular polarization may be referred to as right-handed or left-handed, and clockwise or anti-clockwise, depending on the direction in which the electric field vector rotates. Unfortunately, two opposing historical conventions exist. Using this convention, polarization

2520-422: Is zero. The classical sinusoidal plane wave solution of the electromagnetic wave equation for the electric and magnetic fields is: where k is the wavenumber ; is the angular frequency of the wave; Q = [ x ^ , y ^ ] {\displaystyle \mathbf {Q} =\left[{\hat {\mathbf {x} }},{\hat {\mathbf {y} }}\right]}

2592-400: The axial mode or end-fire helical antenna, the diameter and pitch of the helix are comparable to a wavelength. The antenna functions as a directional antenna radiating a beam off the ends of the helix, along the antenna's axis. It radiates circularly polarized radio waves. These are used for satellite communication. Axial mode operation was discovered by physicist John D. Kraus If

2664-435: The optical isomerism and secondary structure of molecules . In general, this phenomenon will be exhibited in absorption bands of any optically active molecule. As a consequence, circular dichroism is exhibited by most biological molecules, because of the dextrorotary (e.g., some sugars ) and levorotary (e.g., some amino acids ) molecules they contain. Noteworthy as well is that a secondary structure will also impart

2736-499: The radiation pattern , similar to these antennas is omnidirectional , with maximum radiation at right angles to the helix axis. For monofilar designs the radiation is linearly polarized parallel to the helix axis. These are used for compact antennas for portable hand held as well as mobile vehicle mount two-way radios , and in larger scale for UHF television broadcasting antennas. In bifilar or quadrifilar implementations, broadside circularly polarized radiation can be realized. In

The group outputs are added together, with a tracking capability of about 2 degrees for a source transiting at meridian. This corresponds to 8 minutes for an equatorial source.

Multi-frequency versions with manual plug-in taps have become the mainstay for multi-band single-sideband modulation (SSB) HF communications with frequency coverage over the whole HF spectrum from 1 MHz to 30 MHz with from 2 to 6 dedicated frequency tap points tuned at dedicated and allocated frequencies in

The IEEE defines RHCP using the right hand with thumb pointing in the direction of transmit, and the fingers showing the direction of rotation of the E field with time. The rationale for the opposite conventions used by Physicists and Engineers is that Astronomical Observations are always done with the incoming wave traveling toward the observer, where as for most engineers, they are assumed to be standing behind

3024-477: The United States, Federal Communications Commission regulations state that horizontal polarization is the standard for FM broadcasting, but that "circular or elliptical polarization may be employed if desired". Circular dichroism ( CD ) is the differential absorption of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light . Circular dichroism is the basis of a form of spectroscopy that can be used to determine

3096-493: The VHF and UHF bands. These consist of a helical conductor around a tubular steel pole, mounted on standoff insulators. The element consists of two equal length helices, a right-hand and a left-hand, joined at the center. The rod and the surface of the pole under it act as a leaky transmission line , radiating radio waves perpendicular to the pole. The antenna is fed at the bottom, and unlike other normal-mode helicals functions as

3168-460: The array centre. Observations are repeated 62 times until the trolleys reach the southern end the arm. The 1-D data for each day is added so as to make a 2-D map of the sky. Unlike most radio telescopes, the MRT can 'see' very extended sources. Also, the non-co-planarity of the East-West arm have led to new imaging techniques used in cleaning the raw data. Although the MRT was primarily designed to conduct

3240-417: The circumference of the helix is significantly less than a wavelength and its pitch (axial distance between successive turns) is significantly less than a quarter wavelength, the antenna is called a normal-mode helix. The antenna acts similar to a monopole antenna , with an omnidirectional radiation pattern , radiating equal power in all directions perpendicular to the antenna's axis. However, because of

3312-442: The circumference, which means the spacing between the coils should be approximately one-quarter of the wavelength ( ⁠ λ   / 4 ⁠ ). The number of turns in the helix determines how directional the antenna is: more turns improves the gain in the direction of its axis at both ends (or at one end, when a ground plate is used), at a cost of gain in the other directions. When C < λ it operates more in normal mode where

3384-418: The electric field vector rotates in a right-hand sense with respect to the direction of propagation, and left-handed circular polarization (LHCP) in which the vector rotates in a left-hand sense. Circular polarization is a limiting case of elliptical polarization . The other special case is the easier-to-understand linear polarization . All three terms were coined by Augustin-Jean Fresnel , in

3456-434: The electric field, from plane to plane, has a constant strength while its direction steadily rotates. Refer to these two images in the plane wave article to better appreciate this dynamic. This light is considered to be right-hand, clockwise circularly polarized if viewed by the receiver. Since this is an electromagnetic wave , each electric field vector has a corresponding, but not illustrated, magnetic field vector that

3528-411: The element is divided into multiple vertical "bays", with a phase-adjustment "collar" between each, to keep the phase constant along the length of the tower. When the helix circumference is near the wavelength of operation, the antenna operates in axial mode . This is a nonresonant traveling wave mode, in which instead of standing waves , the waves of current and voltage travel in one direction, up

3600-470: The existing basic style of aftermarket HF and VHF mobile helical. Another common use for broadside helixes is in the so-called rubber ducky antenna found on most portable VHF and UHF radios using a steel or copper conductor as the radiating element and usually terminated to a BNC/TNC style or screw on connector for quick removal. Specialized normal-mode helical antennas (see photo) are used as transmitting antennas for television broadcasting stations on

3672-408: The gain direction is a donut shape to the sides instead of out the ends. Terminal impedance in axial mode ranges between 100 and 200 Ω, approximately where C is the circumference of the helix, and λ is the wavelength. Impedance matching (when C = λ ) to standard 50 or 75  Ω coaxial cable is often done by a quarter wave stripline section acting as an impedance transformer between

3744-449: The gain, and thus the communication range, of the helix will be less than that of a full sized antenna. Their compact size makes helicals useful as antennas for mobile and portable communications equipment on the HF, VHF, and UHF bands. The loading provided by the helix allows the antenna to be physically shorter than its electrical length of a quarter-wavelength. This means that for example

3816-427: The handedness (left or right) of a helical antenna, and the type of circularly-polarized radiation it emits is often described in ways that appear to be ambiguous. However, J.D. Kraus (the inventor of the helical antenna) states "The left-handed helix responds to left-circular polarisation, and the right handed helix to right-circular polarisation (IEEE definition)". The IEEE defines the sense of polarisation as: Thus

3888-411: The helical antenna strongly depends on the reflector. The above classical formulas assume that the reflector has the form of a circular resonator (a circular plate with a rim) and the pitch angle is optimal for this type of reflector. Nevertheless, these formulas overestimate the gain by several dB . The optimal pitch that maximizes the gain for a flat ground plane is in the range 3–10° and it depends on

3960-550: The helix and the ground plate. The maximum directive gain is approximately: where N is the number of turns and S is the spacing between turns. Most designs use C = λ and S = 0.23 C , so the gain is typically G = 3.45 N . In decibels , the gain is G dBi = 10 log 10 ⁡ ( 3.45 N )   . {\displaystyle G_{\text{dBi}}=10\log _{10}\left(3.45N\right)~.} The half-power beamwidth is: The beamwidth between nulls is: The gain of

4032-407: The helix from the feedpoint in a transmitting antenna and down the helix toward the feedpoint in a receiving antenna. Instead of radiating linearly polarized waves normal to the antenna's axis, it radiates a beam of radio waves with circular polarisation along the axis, off the ends of the antenna. The main lobes of the radiation pattern are along the axis of the helix, off both ends. Since in

4104-429: The helix, the thumb will point in the direction of progression for the helix, given the sense of rotation. Note that, in the context of the nature of all screws and helices, it does not matter in which direction you point your thumb when determining its handedness. When determining if the wave is clockwise or anti-clockwise circularly polarized, one again takes the point of view of the receiver and, while looking toward

The reflected components in the p and s linear polarizations are found by applying the Fresnel coefficients of reflection, which are generally different for those two linear polarizations. Only in the special case of normal incidence, where there

4248-428: The inductance added by the helical shape, the antenna acts like an inductively loaded monopole; at its resonant frequency it is shorter than a quarter-wavelength long. Therefore, normal-mode helices can be used as electrically short monopoles, an alternative to center- or base-loaded whip antennas , in applications where a full sized quarter-wave monopole would be too big. As with other electrically short antennas,

Most examples were wound with copper wire using a fiberglass rod as a former. The usually flexible or ridged radiator is then covered with a PVC or polyolefin heat-shrink tubing which provides a resilient and rugged waterproof covering for the finished mobile antenna. The fibreglass rod

4464-400: The polarisation of the signal may change, so end-fire helical antennas are frequently used for these applications. Since large helices are difficult to build and unwieldy to steer and aim, the design is commonly employed only at higher frequencies, ranging from VHF up to microwave . The helix of the antenna can twist in two possible directions: right-handed or left-handed, the former having

The maximum absolute value of g em , corresponding to purely left- or right-handed circular polarization, is therefore 2. Meanwhile, the smallest absolute value that g em can achieve, corresponding to linearly polarized or unpolarized light,

4608-413: The reflected light is identical to that of the incident field. However, with propagation now in the opposite direction, the same rotation direction that would be described as "right-handed" for the incident beam, is "left-handed" for propagation in the reverse direction, and vice versa. Aside from the reversal of handedness, the ellipticity of polarization is also preserved (except in cases of reflection by

4680-418: The same form as that of a common corkscrew. The 4-helix array in the first illustration uses left-handed helices, while all other illustrations show right-handed helices. In an axial-mode helical antenna the direction of twist of the helix determines the polarisation of the emitted wave. Two mutually incompatible conventions are in use for describing waves with circular polarisation , so the relationship between

4752-424: The source, against the direction of propagation, and then matching the curling of one's fingers to the temporal rotation of the field. When using this convention, in contrast to the other convention, the defined handedness of the wave matches the handedness of the screw type nature of the field in space. Specifically, if one freezes a right-handed wave in time, when one curls the fingers of one's right hand around

4824-512: The source, against the direction of propagation, one observes the direction of the field's temporal rotation. Just as in the other convention, right-handedness corresponds to a clockwise rotation, and left-handedness corresponds to an anti-clockwise rotation. Many optics textbooks use this second convention. It is also used by SPIE as well as the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). As stated earlier, there

4896-517: The source, looking in the same direction of the wave's propagation, the field rotates in the clockwise direction. The second animation is that of left-handed or anti-clockwise light, using this same convention. This convention is in conformity with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard and, as a result, it is generally used in the engineering community. Quantum physicists also use this convention of handedness because it

FM broadcast radio stations sometimes employ circular polarization to improve signal penetration into buildings and vehicles. It is one example of what the International Telecommunication Union refers to as "mixed polarization", i.e. radio emissions that include both horizontally- and vertically-polarized components. In

Circular polarization In electrodynamics , circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electromagnetic field of the wave has a constant magnitude and is rotating at a constant rate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In electrodynamics, the strength and direction of an electric field

The Jones vector is: where the plus sign indicates left circular polarization, and the minus sign indicates right circular polarization. In the case of circular polarization, the electric field vector of constant magnitude rotates in the x - y plane. If basis vectors are defined such that: and: then the polarization state can be written in
