You can use a 90-degree hybrid splitter/combiner to produce LHCP and RHCP 
for two receivers. Switching will produce sidebands at the switching 
frequency and alias undesired signals into the receiver passband.

Hi all,
Has anyone ever considered the possibilty of using PIN diodes and a free 
running square wave oscillator to electronically switch between RHCP and 
LHCP?
The switching frequency would have to be high enough so as to not introduce
a tone to the signal.

Just a thought I have had for awhile.
