A backscatter transponder interrogator, comprising a transmitter, emitting an interrogation signal for interacting with a backscatter transponder within an interrogation field, a plurality of antennas, each having a different and complementary property, such that a backscatter response from a backscatter transponder is likely to be preferentially received by at least one of said at least two antennas, a receiver, selecting an output from a selected antenna, and demodulating the backscatter response to produce an information signal, and a digitally controlled oscillator, producing an output controlling said transmitter and employed by said receiver to demodulate the backscatter response. The interrogator may have a plurality of transmit antennas. The antennas may have respectively different polarization properties, e.g., horizontal and vertical polarization. The interrogator may implement null steered polarization cancellation to distinguish between backscatter transponders within the interrogation field.
