Abstract

The transmission medium or the radiating system often fails to maintain the orthogonality between two polarizations. Using a differential phase shifter and a differential attenuator, the orthogonality can be recovered by the transformation of two nonorthogonal elliptically polarized waves into two orthogonal polarizations.
