A helical-beam antenna with right-hand polarization will best receive signals with:

  1. Ahorizontal polarization
  2. Bright-hand polarization
  3. Cleft-hand polarization
  4. Dvertical polarization only

Correct answer: B — right-hand polarization. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

A helical-beam antenna with right-hand polarization works best when the incoming radio wave spins in the same direction, matching the antenna's own rotation. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
