1. An elliptically polarized dielectric block antenna comprising:

  • a linearly polarized dielectric block antenna; and

    a wave polarizer integrated with the linearly polarized dielectric block antenna, wherein the wave polarizer converts the linearly polarized wave of the linearly polarized dielectric block antenna into an elliptically polarized wave;

    wherein the wave polarizer is integrated with the dielectric block of the linearly polarized dielectric block antenna; and

    wherein the wave polarizer comprises one or more slots formed in the dielectric block of the linearly polarized dielectric block antenna, each of said one or more slots being arranged at an oblique angle to the direction of polarization of said linearly polarized dielectric block antenna.
