A rotary joint including a stator intended to be fastened on a first part of the antenna and defining a transmission surface, and a rotor intended to be fastened on a second part of the antenna and defining a transmission surface, wherein one of the transmission surfaces includes primary means for delimiting electromagnetic signals and the other includes complementary means for delimiting electromagnetic signals; the rotor being mounted rotating relative to the stator such that at least part of the transmission surface of the rotor is positioned across from at least part of the transmission surface of the stator, the facing parts forming at least one transmission path between them for the electromagnetic signals delimited by the primary and complementary delimiting means.

A wireless node described herein transmits and receives high frequency signals with three or more different polarizations simultaneously thereby increasing network capacity. The different polarizations can be achieved by using polarizer sheets and/or orthomode transducer assemblies or Cassegrain antennas with multiple subreflectors.

Orientation-independent antennas and associated beamforming circuits, to provide polarization-independent determination of position. An Indoor Positioning System (IPS) may utilize beacon or tag devices equipped with orientation-independent antennas to determine the location of nearby objects. The system can exist in many different customizable configurations, sometimes utilizing orientation-independent antennas embedded in smartphones that serve as beacon or tag devices. The devices, systems and methods described herein may be used for an IPS in a residential setting, a commercial setting (like a department store), an event or workplace, or an industrial setting.

A compact, agile polarization diversity, multiband antenna with integrated electronics for satellite communications antenna systems is disclosed. The antenna includes a feed assembly having integrated microwave electronics that are mechanically and electromagnetically coupled thereto in a distributed arrangement so that diverse polarization senses having a low axial ratio and electronic switching control is provided. The microwave electronics include a distributed transmitter that can include high-band and low-band transceivers. The high-band and low-band transceivers can include high-band and low-band transmitter and receiver pairs, respectively. The antenna presented enables the mechanical rotation of the orientation of the high-band transceiver for skew alignment while the low-band transceiver remains stationary relative to the antenna assembly. The low-band transmitter and receiver pair can include planar interfaces electromagnetically coupled to the feed assembly between a main reflector and subreflector via OMTs. The highly compact antenna system presented offers polarization performance previously achievable by only larger devices.

An antenna system includes a dual-polarized antenna, a main reflector, and an auxiliary reflector. The dual-polarized antenna includes a first antenna element and a second antenna element.
