Multicode aperture transmitter/receiver

摘要

Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments provide for a multicode transmitter/receiver that acts like a high power array when a correlated receiver is used, but acts as a collection of small low gain transmitters when an uncorrelated receiver is used. In one embodiment, a method of transmitting and receiving signals comprises splitting (104) a signal (102) into more than one portion for feeding the signal into separate elements of an array (114); coding (112) each portion of the signal for transmission through each separate element of the array with a different code (f n (t)) respectively; transmitting each coded portion of the signal through a corresponding separate element of the array; receiving the coded portions of the signal by at least one element on a receiver side; decoding the coded portions of the signal; and adding decoded portions of the signal to form a complete received signal.
