Polarization of LD1115H vs CDM324

Before popping the HLK LD1115H radars I noticed that I could get a stronger signal when the orientation of the antenna arrays between TX and RX (CDM-324) was 90 degrees apart.

I found that the signal was stronger when the modules were positioned - relative to each other - as shown in the picture below.

This relative position provided strongest signal in the lab environment.

Before conducting any "long" distance test it is worth checking the effect of "swapping" polarization on one side.
