Q

The electric field is made to rotate ???
through space in either a left or right direction. This is achieved by transmitting ?? ?? waves of equal amplitude and ?? but 90 degrees out of phase at the same time. This results in the waves rotating in space. The wave rotates rapidly at one full rotation per cycle.
