Abstract
The feasibility of using the tripole antenna for circular polarization was experimentally investigated. Measured impedance and radiation patterns were in agreement with the predictions from the infinitesimal tripole model. For simultaneous operation in both senses of circular polarization the tripole antenna must be fed by a special separator network, preferably of the nonreciprocal type.
