Modulated high frequency heating of the polar ionosphere in the presence of a polar electrojet current (PEJ) can generate extremely/very low frequency (ELF/VLF, 3 Hz–30 kHz). In order to overcome the dependence of the radiation intensity on the variable PEJ, researchers have focused on electrojet-independent approaches. One potential method is so-called “beat-wave” (BW) ELF/VLF generation invoking nonlinearity of the F-region ionospheric plasma, but this F-region source mechanism remains controversial. We perform polarization analysis of BW generated ELF/VLF waves using EISCAT heating facility near Tromsø. The results show that ELF/VLF waves can be decomposed into right- (R) and -left (L) handed circularly polarized waves with comparable strengths, and the polarization ellipse tends to be parallel to the well-known dominant background electric field, which is fully consistent with the recognized features of ELF/VLF waves generated by PEJ modulation. Hence, the results demonstrate that the BW generated current is located in the D/E region, and not the F region.
