A method includes receiving at least two space-time coded signals from an antenna system associated with a first station, determining complex channel state information based on the received space-time coded signals, and sendin g the complex channel state information to the first station. In an alternativ e embodiment, a method includes transmitting at least two space-time coded signals in respective beams of a multi-beam antenna array, measuring a chann el impulse response for each space-time coded signal at a second station, and sending an indicia of a selected set of least attenuated signals from the second station to the first station. The multi-beam antenna array is associated with a first station. The beams transmit a signature code embedde d in each respective space-time coded signal, and the signature codes are orthogonal so that the second station can separate and measure the channel impulse response corresponding to each space-time coded signal. The space-ti me coded signals include the selected set of least attenuated signals and a remaining set of most attenuated signals. In an alternative embodiment, a method includes selecting at least two beams of plural beams formed by a mul ti- beam antenna array associated with a first station for transmission of a corresponding at least two space-time coded signals produced by a space-time encoder, determining a time delay associated with each of the at least two space-time coded signals as received in each respective beam, and setting in to a variable delay line the time delay corresponding to each beam, each variab le delay line being coupled between the multi-beam antenna array the space-time encoder.
