That many other polarizations can be transmitted (or received) if a radar system can transmit or receive the H and V channels simultaneously. For example, if a radar system transmits an H and a V signal simultaneously, and the V signal is 90o out of phase with respect to the H signal, the resulting transmitted wave will have circular polarization.
