Abstract:
An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexer (OFDM) transmitter and receiver apparatus consistent with certain embodiments of the present invention receives data to be transmitted and maps (204) a first portion of the data to a first polarization state and a second portion of the data to a second polarization state. A first transmitter (216) transmits the first portion of the data as a set of first OFDM subcarriers using an antenna (230) exhibiting a first polarization. A second transmitter (234) transmits the second portion of the data as a set of second OFDM subcarriers using an antenna (240) exhibiting a second polarization, wherein the first polarization is orthogonal to the second polarization. A receiver apparatus uses a first antenna (302) exhibiting the first polarization and a second antenna (306) exhibiting the second polarization. A first OFDM receiver (310) receives a first set of polarized OFDM subcarriers from the first antenna (302) while a second OFDM receiver (324) receives a second set of polarized OFDM subcarriers from the second antenna (306). A decoder (330) decodes the first and second sets of OFDM subcarriers and combines them into a stream of data.

Abstract:
An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexer (OFDM) transmitter and receiver apparatus consistent with certain embodiments of the present invention receives data to be transmitted and maps (104) a first portion of the data to a first polarization state and a second portion of the data to a second polarization state. A first transmitter (148) transmits the first portion of the data as a set of first OFDM subcarriers using an antenna (160) exhibiting a first polarization. A second transmitter (156) transmits the second portion of the data as a set of second OFDM subcarriers using an antenna (164) exhibiting a second polarization, wherein the first polarization is orthogonal to the second polarization. A receiver apparatus uses a first antenna exhibiting the first polarization and a second antenna exhibiting the second polarization to receive and decode first and second set of OFDM subcarriers and combines them into a stream of data.
