  • Abstract
    An electronic instrument is described which automatically determines the resultant polarization of two superimposed elliptically polarized waves when the polarization of the individual components is known. In addition, a study of the effect of ground pulse contamination on polarization data obtained by sounding the ionosphere is presented. The study serves to demonstrate the usefulness of the instrument.
