Synthesis and Analysis of Elliptic Polarization Loci in Terms of Space-Quadrature Sinusoidal Components

The general case of elliptic polarization produced by three mutually perpendicular sinusoidal electromagnetic field components at a point in space is treated. The elliptic locus is specified in terms of the sinusoidal components and conversely the components are specified when the locus is known. The simpler two-component case is solved first.
