Abstract:
A system for use in communicating signals between a plurality of communication devices, said system comprising:a communication device having at least a first signal port associated therewith adapted to communicate with antenna beam signals; a plurality of antenna beams including overlapping ones of said antenna beams, wherein ones of said antenna beams are adapted to communicate signals of a first polarization and other ones of said antenna beams are adapted to communicate signals of a second polarization; a first signal feed network coupling signals of a first set of signal beams of said plurality of antenna beams to said first signal port, wherein ones of said first set of antenna beams are selected to have said first polarization and other ones of said first set of signal beams are selected to have said second polarization, wherein adjacent antenna beams of said first set have alternate polarizations of said first and second polarizations.
