Talk:Turnstile antenna

"horizontally" and "vertically"
This would be which orientation? Is the antenna in the picture mounted this way?

The term shouldn't even be used unless it is well-agreed that a particular orientation is horizontal.

The claimed properties seem to be impossible. The radiation pattern of the antenna shouldn't change shape just because the antenna is pointed in a different direction! Is it assumed that the electrical connection would be different? Aside from that, I don't see how the antenna could have circular polarization only when oriented vertically.

Will the real Turnstile Antenna please stand up?
This article in current form, without references, is seriously misleading as to what a turnstile is, where it came from and what it is used for. CP Yagi's are not Turnstile Antennas for example. If no one else seems to care about the content, I will produce a well referenced article that covers the history and accurately portrays the George Brown Turnstile Antenna.

Addressed the References Needed request
Made many changes to the content of this page in an effort to address the References Needed posted to the top of the article recently. I'm leaning heavily on 1988 Kraus "Antennas" book. Changed wording a bit to reflect the idea the antenna doesn't necessarily need to be fed in quadrature to work. The antenna dipoles can be designed to perform the quadrature inherently. I'm calling bluff on the references to Yagi and Log-Periodic antennas being forms of Turnstiles. I do not think they are and cannot find any references suggesting otherwise. If someone can back up the claims of this section, by all means add references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crcwiki (talk • contribs) 23:05, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Since no one objected, the reference to the yagi-uda antennas is now gone. Crcwiki (talk) 20:11, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
