Please help me on how to detect cp em wave with Loop antenna
 

"Detect" means just receive or specifically determine the polarization?

You'll receive the wave with any loop plane parallel to wave propagation direction.
 

If you see the anatomy of a LNA sitting at the top of the dish antenna, you will notice two short wire segments (perpendicular to each other) that act as antenna. Now you have the following possibilities:

1. None of them get any voltage- there is no signal;

2. The horizontal one gets signal but the vertical one does not: the signal is having horizontal polarization;

3. The vertical wire sees some signal but the horizontal one does not: the received signal is vertically polarized;

4. Both the wires get to see some signal: the signal is circularly polarized.

It is still possible to differentiate the LCP and RCP signals but that is another story altogether.
