[Paparazzi-devel] circular polarized antenna hype

[Tilman Baumann]

What is up with those circular polarized antennas that are all the rage 
in the FPW world right now?

The problems they are trying to avoid should be present in telemetry as 
well. Which is loss of signal when antennas are out of phase. (Vertical 
vs. Horizontal)

I wonder, would it make sense to hook one of those cloverleaves to a 
XBee? How does the fact that we use bidirectional signals the efficiency 
of those?
Has anyone tried? Should trials be made?
Do I understand correctly that only one side should be circular 
polarized? Or should have receiver and transmitter the same antenna?

I thought I bring that up since it has not been discussed here as far as 
I know. I'm curious in your opinions.
