MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT (MIMO) COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capable system is contemplated. The communication system may include a signal processor configured to separate an input stream into multiple signal paths to facilitate simultaneous transport through a communication medium. The capability to simultaneously transmit multiples signal paths may be beneficial in order to maximize throughput and/or minimize expense.

1. A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal processor comprising:
a baseband processor configured to multiplex an input signal into at least a first signal part, a second signal part, a third signal part and a fourth signal part; and a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) configured to transmit the first signal part at a first frequency, the second signal part at a second frequency, the third signal part at a third frequency and the fourth signal part at a fourth frequency, each of the first, second, third and fourth frequencies being different.
