Google is your friend. Do a Google Images search on Microwave Polarizer. Oh, and remember that a large portion of that "huge amount" of microwaves will be reflected back at you by the polarizer (depending on how you build it). Be sure to wear your tin undershorts when using your system...PhDnotForMe said:
Microwave radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength of approximately 1mm. It is different from other forms of radiation, such as visible light or X-rays, in that it has a longer wavelength and lower frequency.
Microwave radiation can be polarized by passing it through a polarizing filter, which only allows waves with a specific orientation to pass through. Another method is by using a polarizing antenna, which can manipulate the direction of the electric field of the radiation.
Polarizing microwave radiation can improve the efficiency and quality of communication systems, as well as increase the resolution and sensitivity of imaging techniques. It can also reduce interference and noise in microwave devices.
The efficiency of polarizing microwave radiation is typically measured by the degree of polarization, which is the ratio of the power of the polarized component to the total power of the radiation. This can range from 0% (completely unpolarized) to 100% (fully polarized).
Polarized microwave radiation has a wide range of practical applications, including in telecommunications, radar systems, satellite communication, and medical imaging. It is also used in research and development for materials testing, remote sensing, and environmental monitoring.
