This paper generalizes a recent improvement to a traditional spatial-processing algorithm to optimally use body-mounted arrays of dual-polarization radio-frequency antenna elements rather than singlepolarization antenna elements. The paper's generalized algorithm exploits high-fidelity far-field gain and polarization data, generated most practically by a computational electromagnetic solver (CES), to characterize the antenna array's individual dual-polarization elements. Using this characterization and that of the desired and undesired communication nodes' antennas, the generalized algorithm determines the array's optimal weights. The subsequent application of a CES to a practical scenario, in which an optimally weighted array of dualpolarization antenna elements is mounted on a representative body, demonstrates the generalized algorithm's exceptional spatial-processing performance.
