What type of antenna can be used to minimize the effects of spin modulation and Faraday rotation?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. A circularly polarized antenna
Spin modulation and Faraday rotation keep changing the polarization of the received signal. A circularly polarized antenna receives all those orientations about equally, so fading is minimized.
Tip: Rotating polarization? Use circular polarization.
