RF WAVEFORM MODULATION APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of generating a modulated radio frequency (RF) signal, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating a first continuous wave RF signal;
generating a second continuous wave RF signal;
inputting the first continuous wave RF signal into a right-hand port of a dual-circular polarized antenna;
inputting the second continuous wave RF signal into a left-hand port of the dual-circular polarized antenna; and
subsequent to inputting, combining the first continuous wave RF signal and the second continuous wave RF signal to create the modulated RF signal.

Abstract
The disclosed system, device and method for a signal modulation apparatus generally includes a first signal generator suitably configured to generate a first continuous wave radio frequency (RF) signal, and a second signal generator suitably configured to generate a second continuous wave RF signal. A dual-circular polarized antenna may be adapted to receive the first continuous wave RF signal into a right-hand port and the second continuous wave RF signal into a left-hand port, where the signals are combined into a modulated RF signal in the dual-circular polarized antenna.
