Abstract
A system for providing independent polarization control in a radio communication system comprises a set of common antennas and a plurality of transmitters for supplying signals to said set of common antennas Said set of common antennas is used for transmitting signals supplied by the transmitters. Said set of common antennas is used to provide elliptical polarization transmission of said signals. The system furthermore comprises a combiner for each combination of a first transmitter of said plurality of transmitters and an antenna of said not of common antennas, and an adjusting element allowing for controlling the polarization of the signal provided by said first transmitter.
