Abstract
Ultracold polar molecules can be shielded from fast collisional losses using microwaves, but achieving the required polarization purity is technically challenging. Here, we propose a scheme for shielding using microwaves with polarization that is far from circular. The setup relies on a modest static electric field and is robust against imperfections in its orientation.
