Re: Helical Antenna "Spin" Determination?




As the element gets farther from the back of the antenna it goes clockwise if you are facing the same way as the antenna. The A5000CP is a different antenna design, but also circular polarization.


Where opposite twist becomes a benefit is when you have RF mic receive antennas on both sides of the stage, and IEM transmitters on one side. Having the IEM the opposite twist will help keep that energy out of the mic antenna.
