Methods and apparatus for a multi-polarized wireless communications system

摘要

Signal processing methods and apparatus are disclosed, including a method of receiving a signal using at least first and second antennas, the method comprising obtaining a first signal comprising a component of the received signal received at said first antenna, obtaining a second signal comprising a component of the received signal received at said second antenna, wherein the first and second signals comprise at least partially orthogonal components of the received signal, performing operations on said first signal and said second signal to obtain first and second modified signals, wherein the operations substantially maximize a level of the received signal in the first modified signal and substantially minimize a level of the received signal in the second modified signal, and processing the first modified signal.

1. A method of receiving a signal using at least first and second antennas, the method comprising:
obtaining a first signal comprising a component of the received signal received at said first antenna; obtaining a second signal comprising a component of the received signal received at said second antenna, wherein the first and second signals comprise at least partially orthogonal components of the received signal; performing operations on said first signal and said second signal to obtain first and second modified signals, wherein the operations substantially maximise a level of the received signal in the first modified signal and substantially minimise a level of the received signal in the second modified signal; and processing the first modified signal.
