  • Patent number: 11367968
    Abstract: A wireless signal transceiver device includes a dual-polarized antenna, a transmission circuit, a reception circuit and a processor. The dual-polarized antenna includes a first feed zone and a second feed zone. The first feed zone is used to receive a transmission signal for the dual-polarized antenna to transmit a first wireless signal accordingly. The second feed zone is used to output a reception signal generated according to a second wireless signal. The dual-polarized antenna is used to form a first radiated electric-field having a first co-polarization according to the first wireless signal and form a second radiated electric-field having a second co-polarization according to the second wireless signal. The first co-polarization and the second co-polarization form an angle between 45 degrees to 135 degrees to each other in a far field.
