  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POLARIZATION ALIGNMENT IN A WIRELESS NETWORK
    Publication number: 20130115886
    Abstract: A system is configured to enable polarization alignment. The system includes at least one transmitter or receiver capable of polarization alignment. The transmitter includes at least one cross-polarized antenna and the receiver includes at least one cross-polarized antenna configured to receive a signal. A polarization processor in the transmitter or the receiver is configured to cause a polarization orientation of the at least one cross-polarized antenna to align with a polarization orientation of the signal.
