Line 12:

The term "circular polarization" is often used erroneously to describe mixed polarity signals used mostly in [[FM radio]] (87.5 to 108.0 MHz), where a vertical and a horizontal component are propagated simultaneously by a single or a combined array.

This has the effect of producing greater penetration into buildings and difficult reception areas than a signal with just one plane of polarization.
