Best Answer

Circular polarization characteristics of a helical antenna help offset the effects of spin modulation from satellites in motion, that is, the tendency for satellites to spin causing the position of their antennae to change rapidly in accordance with the spin, causing a fluctuation in the signal as received by a fixed signal on earth. Circular polarization of the earth fixed antenna reduces the fluctuating effects of the satellite's spin on the recived signal.

How do you remove the factory radio to unplug the antenna and install satellite radio wire?

you can't do it yourself you have to get help from a pro


How do you get the antenna to go up with a new stereo installed if the antenna wire is connected to the stereo but the antenna won't raise now even from the switch?

The motor that raises and lowers the antenna is controlled by a wire which is connected to the power switch in the stock radio. The wire from the antenna itself has nothing to do with raising and lowering the antenna. Touch the wires that were connected to the stock radio to a hot wire and see if the antenna starts to move. If if does, hook that wire to the wire from the new radio which is supposed to control the antenna motor. If there is no such wire, connect the antenna motor wire to the Accessory circut. The antenna will go up whenever the key is turned on. Or, you can get fancy and install a switch for it.


How to replace antenna on 1992 Toyota pickup?

remove wheel and remove the plastic liner inside the fender. remove the radio and disconnect the antenna wire. Tape another, 10' long wire to the end of the antenna wire. Unscrew the nut around the antenna from on top. pull the antenna and antenna wire out through the fender. Tape the 10' long wire to the new antenna wire and pull it back through the dash to the radio.

Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?

You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.


How does Power antenna needs to come on when the radio is turned on what wire is correct?

Your head unit should have a wire marked as P. Antenna that's the wire you need to connect.


What are helical springs?

Helical springs are the typical, common, wound springs used in tension or compression. The term 'helical' comes from the spring being a helix- the wire is wound around a mandrel, advancing along the length of the mandrel as it is wound.


How do you replace a fixed antenna on a 96 Honda Civic?

A fixed antenna is wired directly to the radio on a 1996 Honda Civic. Pull the center console off and find the antenna wire behind the radio. Tie a nylon to the antenna wire and pull the old unit out. Tie the new wire for the antenna to the nylon so it can be properly snaked back.


Can you extend the antena wire?

You can extend an antenna wire, but the added length will reduce amplitude of received signal. You may need an in-line amplifier depending on the application and length of antenna wire.
