good idea, they are just another way for lawyers to make money. any new

Any comments or technical objections?

if this were that obvious to you, and it would work as described, it
would
already be in wide use.

So let's save some federal money by shutting down the USPTO.
Everything useful that works has already been thought of, so there's
no need for them any more.

i haven't had enough caffeine yet to explain why,
but somehow i think you would get complete cancellation and there would
be
no propagation at all.

Without giving the problem any serious mathematical or physical thought, only
knee-jerk intuition, IMO, if a radiator suitable for radiating CP of either hand
were fed with equal signals leading to both RHCP and LHCP simultaneously, I
agree with the poster above that complete cancelation would result, and there
would be no radiation.

This is why a linearly-polarized antenna could not receive any energy. (har har)
