Can this beam work?

I wanted to experiment with "alternating polarization" of electromagnetic radiation. It is my belief that strange effects will occur if you can alternate the polarization of a microwave at the same frequency of the wave.

I mean to say that if you take a microwave who's frequency is X and you alternate the polarization of that wave at a rate of X you should twist the wave in a strange way that may give rise to unusual properties. (see picture below)

I will use the attached picture to explain myself in a simple way

What you see in the picture below is a representation of my "APE" wave, an "Alternating Polarization Emission" wave.

in order to make such a wave you must use some sort of faraday effect device that can operate at Ghz frequencies but is that possible? can you alternate the polarization of a wave so that it looks like the picture below? Can a faraday effect coil operate at high frequencies like MHz and Ghz? How would you approach making such a wave?

 

 

Notice how the polarization changes every half cycle, you need to flip the polarization very quickly to archive the wave form seen above. Can such a wave exist?

 

If it could exist would that mean that this wave would develop strange electric and magnetic properties?

 

 

this is what I believe would happen to the wave, it would develop something similar to a ferromagnetic field and displace a charge in the air which might form a plasma in the air as the charged air particles attract each other and discharge.

 

I imagine it could be archived by using a maser and a few high frequency coils but I don't know for sure. One of the biggest challenges to making this kind of wave would be the Faraday effect coil, I doubt you could make one with enough field strength at a high frequency to create much of an effect, however if you could get 0.5% of a wobble from a weak coil then the magnetic and electric properties might be measurable.

 

Do you think this APE ray is possible?

No, probably not. You would have to show that this satisfies Maxwell's equations, and I don't think a step change in polarization in free space does.

I agree - that looks like an unachievable waveform to me.
