Picture6 data show equal horizontal and total gain, which means it's
purely horizontally polarized in the direction of the analysis. That's
also consistent with equal CW and CCW (or right and left hand) circular
components, which mean polarization (again in the direction of the
analysis) is purely linear.

I am a bit lost on the above response basically on the use of the term
purely linear.
Could you please explain your emphasis on purely linear in your
analysis.
Does it in any way point to an error in the model
