| Abstract: | An improvement in high altitude communication with a small, rocket-borne sonde can be achieved by transmitting circularly polarized waves. Signal losses due to cross polarization of linear antennas can be reduced. Measured radiation patterns for instrument mounted linear and several helical antennas are presented. Flight data are discussed. |
