Polarization error
Polarization error (in bearing)
An error, in an observed bearing, which varies with the state of polarization of the received waves relative to the designed plane of polarization.
Note: Some types of polarization error may be attributable to specific features of the site (e.g. inclined conductors) and, as such, are also site errors.
