That's NOT polarity, it's polarization. Polarity is what happens when 
you reverse the wires in a feedline or go through an inverting stage.

And also remember that polarity has nothing to do with phase, which is a 
continuous variable, and has meaning ONLY at a single frequency. 
Polarity has the same value -- positive or reverse all frequencies.
