Polarization error (in bearing)
An error, in an observed bearing, which varies with the state of polarization of the received waves relative to the designed plane of polarization.
Note: Some types of polarization error may be attributable to specific features of the site (e.g. inclined conductors) and, as such, are also site errors.
