Circulating fields with a switchable sense of rotation (clockwise, CW or counter clockwise, CCW) have been generated on a micrometer length scale at frequencies up to 1 GHz by two orthogonal electric RF currents with 90° phase shift flowing through crossed but not isolated striplines. Decoupling of these currents is realized by balanced symmetric RF sources. The amplitudes of the rotating magnetic fields and their spatial distributions are calculated and the stripline geometry is discussed. By taking advantage of this technique, unidirectional vortex core reversal by excitation with CW or CCW rotating magnetic fields has been observed by time resolved scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy. An area with reversed magnetization, the “dip,” was observed near the vortex core before vortex core reversal.
