Linear vertical or horizontal polarization is normally used in microwave transmission. Reasons: Circularly polarized antennas are more complex and more expensive, because they are actually double polarized antennas, i.e. a combination of horizontal and vertical polarizations. Rain attenuation is lowest when the polarization is vertical. Therefore longer hops can be built if circular polarization is avoided.
