The emitted microwave of a radar sensor consists of a magnetic and an electrical component. Both components (also called fields) are at an angle of 90° to each other. The reflective properties of the electrical and the magnetic field are different. As a result, the wanted signal can be reinforced, or interfering signals attenuated, by turning the antenna system of the radar sensor on its longitudinal axis.
