If two waves of the same frequency align with each others’ valleys, they align with each others’ peaks. Do you mean they should be aligned peak to valley? I don’t know how you’re deciding which direction of the axes is positive and which is negative though.
Comment on 50ohm goes brrrrrr

Just to point out, because it’s bothering me way more than it should…
But the electric and magnetic peaks align with each other’s valleys, not with each other’s peaks.

You’re describing circular polarization. It’s not the only way.

Yeah, because it’s not pulsing in intensity, it’s pulsing between which kind of energy it’s being

Maybe it’s showing polarization superpositions of the E-field?

No, they fucking don’t
