1. A method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a first rotating wave;
receiving said first rotating wave, wherein components of said first rotating wave enter a first channel and a second channel;
isolating said first rotating wave from at least one of said first channel and said second channel, wherein said first channel is divided into a first channel primary path and a first channel secondary path, said second channel is divided into a second channel primary path and a second channel secondary path; and
shifting a first phase of said first channel secondary path and combining said shifted first phase with said second channel primary path, and shifting a second phase of said second channel secondary path and combining said shifted second phase with said first channel primary path.

Abstract
A communications system that uses electromagnetic waves. The communications system preferably operates in the millimeter-wave frequencies, and provides relatively high signal restoration and isolation. The communications system can use polarization diversity to increase the capacity of a channel. Isolation and restoration features in the transceivers eliminate or reduce the effects of precipitation and/or reflection and diffraction from objects, and thus is well-suited for an urban environment.

3. A system comprising:
-
transmission means for transmitting a first rotating wave; reception means for receiving said first rotating wave, wherein components of said first rotating wave enter a first channel and a second channel, said first channel divided into a first channel primary path and a first channel secondary path, said second channel divided into a second channel primary path and a second channel secondary path; isolation means for isolating said first rotating wave from at least one of said first channel and said second channel; a first shifter shifting a first phase of said first channel secondary path, a first combiner combining said shifted first phase with said second channel primary path; and a second shifter shifting a second phase of said second channel secondary path, and a second combiner combining said shifted second phase with said first channel primary path. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
