I have a vertically erected antenna and thus radiating a circularly polarised wave. Is it possible to measure its horizontal & vertical components by a similarly polarised antenna & then arrive at its circularly polarised value by a relationship (formula).

A vertical antenna does not generate a circularly polarized RF Wave.
There are circularly polarized antennas, with a helix being one example. The polarization is either right handed or left handed (basically clockwise or counterclockwise), depending on how the antenna is formed.
The horizontal and vertical components are actually a continuing change from 0 signal strength to max signal strength of the magnetic and electical wave components (which are always orthogonal to one another). For best results, the transmitting and receiving antenna need to be of the same circular polarization type for communications.

A vertical antenna radiates a vertically polarised electric field.
The associated magnetic field in this case is horizontal..
