PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a way to perform point-to-multipoint transmission using an adaptive or directional antenna while reducing an antenna array pattern distortion. SOLUTION: Generally, rather than transmitting a same waveform to two or more receivers, an information bearing signal is transformed into different decorrelated waveforms and each decorrelated waveform is transmitted to a different receiver. In one implementation, an information bearing signal is transformed into two decorrelated signals S<SB>1</SB>(t), S<SB>2</SB>(t), such that their cross-correlation or auto-correlation of the information bearing signal, is zero or very small. Such decorrelation may be achieved by sending a first signal to a first receiver 104, while sending a second signal with a radio frequency spectrum that is the spectrally inverted version of the first signal to a second receiver 106. In another implementation, a first signal is transmitted to the first receiver 104, and is also transmitted to the second receiver 106 with a time delay. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
