This paper proposes a novel form of polarization diversity using a pair of spatially-variable-orthogonal-polarizations (SVOPs) obtained by mixing two orthogonal linear polarizations (LPs) of a dual-polarized cross-dipole array. This method significantly enhances the beamwidth of the array without requiring changes to its configuration or amplitude tuning, resulting in reduced operational costs compared to other pattern synthesis methods. To achieve the required polarization diversity, two SVOP arrays are designed with the same pattern shapes such that their polarizations are orthogonal to each other in all directions of interest. We theoretically derive and validate the conditions for achieving orthogonal patterns using this method. It is demonstrated that the obtained pair of SVOP arrays have better polarization orthogonality (PO) and wider beam than that of the dual-polarized antenna element employed in the array.
