That, combined with new SDR and DSP radios is opening up whole new area.

What is this 'whole new area do you see opening up' have with respect
to antennas and how is it connected to polarization ?

With two antennas and dual SDR receiver you can already swing the pattern
from the antennas in the software. Using dual polarization you can minimize
the efects of fading and take advantage of some noise canceling in DSP -
software. Even now you can see the signals before you can hear them.

Myself, I anticipate some movement to more compact forms of arrays to
meet WIFI trends , erther way antenna interest is sure to increase in
the
next decade.

Good for you!
