Description
The detection of left waves in a frequency range where only right waves are predicted by the magneto-ionic theory has raised questions on the validity of the methods used to determine the sense of polarization of electromagnetic emissions. A new method, based on the sign of the imaginary part of the cross-spectrum between two magnetic wave field components is discussed. It is valid for non-plane waves as well as for plane waves. Abnormal polarizations are shown to be correlated with scintillations in the telemetry signal
