The commercial helical antennas I`ve used in the 450 MHz band compared

and if you mount the Driven Element in a Corner Reflector at a 45
degree angle, you will have an Oliptical Polorization, which will
seem like Circular Polorization to the receiver. We used this
technique all the time on terristrial links at 900 Mhz in alaska.
