Hi Gary
Any good suggstions on how to keep the axis of the rotating dipole lined up with the axis of the CP antenna in the far field?
Thanks

To measure axial ratio, why not rotate a dipole in front of the yagis (or other antenna) , and measure the signal strength. If the axial ratio is 1 then there should be NO change in signal strength as the dipole is rotated. It would necessary to stay in the far field.
Or have I been working too long today?
