An approach for determining antenna weights in a multiple antenna communication system is provided. The approach jointly optimizes the transmitter weights and the receiver filter. A filter of a receiver (e.g., Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE)) is optimized using initial weight values of the transmit antennas. The cost function, which is a mean-squared of a difference between a transmitted signal and an estimated signal, is then modified according to the optimized receiver filter. A transmit filter is then optimized according to the modified cost function. The above approach advantageously can obtain antenna weights when the condition of separability of paths does not exist.
