Making communication easier for the warfighter while also having commercial viability is the overall idea behind an invention recently patented by two Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) engineers. Carl Pfeiffer and Thomas Steffen of the Sensors Directorate (RY) have developed a device that appears simple in nature but has the ability to convert linear polarized antenna arrays into circularly polarized antennas. The device is called a Linear-To-Circular Polarizer (United States Patent Office #11,283,142).
