An antenna switching arrangement with a quadrature arrangement of transmission lines through which a desired signal path may be configured via switches selectively grounding junctions of the switching arrangement. The desired path routing a signal from an input port to one or both of first and second output ports to generate a signal with vertical linear polarization, horizontal linear polarization or circular polarization. The selected polarization may be changed as desired and/or multiple antenna switching arrangements applied to enable simultaneous signals with different polarizations.
An antenna switching arrangement, comprising:
A method for switching the polarity of an RF signal, comprising the steps of:
The method of claim 18, wherein the controller controls multiple separate quadrature transmission arrangements.
The method of claim 19, wherein the controller directs at least one of the multiple separate quadrature transmission arrangements to generate a signal in a different polarization.
A method for reading an RFID tag, comprising the steps of:
