Microwave PolarizaƟon and Interferometry Aim – Introduction The aim of this experiment is to investigate the angle of linear polarization on microwave reception. This experiment will also include constructing a microwave Michelson interferometer and investigate the accuracy. Procedure 1. The transmitter and receiever should be set to 0 degress and calibrate the reciever by making sure the receiver reads a value close to maximum. 2. After successfully calibrating the receiver, rotate the receiver to different angles and write down the signal strengths for each angle. 3. Now, we will repeat the same procedure in step 1. 4. Place a polarizing filter in between the transmitter and receiver. 5. Record the signal strength with varying angles of the polarizing filter. Use a protractor to measure precise angles of 22.5° 6. For the third experiment, arrange the equipment in a cross. 7. Repeat step 1 and calibrate the receiver. 8. Use a metal plate (microwave reflector) in the middle and record the signal strength. 9. Replace the metal plate with a wood/plastic plate in the middle and record the signal strength.
