1. A communication system, comprising:

  • (a) a mobile unit operatively coupled to at least one antenna, said antenna(s) configured to transmit electromagnetic waves having a polarization state fixed with respect to said mobile antenna(s) and receive electromagnetic waves having an arbitrary polarization;

    (b) a remote transceiver operatively coupled to a multitude of antennas, said antennas configured to transmit electromagnetic waves having a fixed polarization state with respect to said transceiver and receive electromagnetic waves having an arbitrary polarization;

    (c) at least one sensor for sensing the orientation of said mobile unit with respect to a fixed reference frame,(d) a means for using the output of said sensor to resolve the relative orientation of said mobile unit and said remote transceiver,(e) a means for using said relative orientation to decouple incident polarized electromagnetic signals on said antenna(s) of said mobile unit.
