Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 116 words
A variable polarizer for microwave systems comprising: a first and second waveguide channel; coupling means for interconnecting the first and second waveguide channels; a plurality of adjustable phase shifting elements connected in parallel and in series in said first and second waveguide channels; a source of input signal; signal output means; a first receiver means connected to the first waveguide channel; a first duplexer means connected between said signal output means and said first receiver means; a second receiver means connected to the second waveguide channel; and a second duplexer means connected between the said signal output means and said second receiver means whereby microwave signals will be variably polarized in the first and second channels.
