The locus traced by Electric field component of wave along direction of propagation w.r.t time is known as polarization. Polarization can be classified as follow:
A] Linear:
Horizontal – If locus traced by wave becomes horizontal w.r.t reference axis then it is called as horizontal polarization.
Vertical – If the locus traced by wave becomes vertical w.r.t reference axis, then it is called vertical polarization.
B] Circular:
Circular – If locus traced by the wave results into circle then it is referred as circular. In this E ̅ has both x and y components.
¯Ex - A cos wt
¯Ey - A sin wt
Elliptical – If locus traced by the wave results into ellipse. In this E ̅ has both x and y components but magnitude of these components are different.
