CP has various meanings in the Polarization category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of CP in Polarization.
A circularly-polarised wave, in which the electric field vector, observed in any fixed plane normal to the direction of propagation, rotates with time and traces a circle in the plane of observation. Unlike linear polarisation, circular polarisation does not require alignment of earth station and satellite antennas with the polarisation of the radio waves.
