La polarización de la antena juega un papel importante en el diseño de la misma. Recuérdese que la polarización viene definida por la trayectoria que describe el vector de campo eléctrico (o magnético) cuando se observa en el sentido de propagación de la onda (la onda se aleja del observador). Así, se tiene: polarización lineal, polarización circular y polarización elíptica. 1, record 2, Spanish, - polarizaci%C3%B3n%20de%20la%20antena
