A RECEIVER ARCHITECTURE EMPLOYING SPACE TIME SPREADING AND ORTHOGONAL TRANSMIT DIVERSITY TECHNIQUES

摘要

Disclosed is a receiver transmitter architecture having incorporated both op en loop transmit diversity schemes using a plurality of binary switches. Employment of binary switches allows for the sharing of certain components whether the receiver i s utilizing a orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD) scheme or a space time spreading (STS) scheme. Accordingly, the number of components in the receiver is minimized and the complexity of the receiver is simple enough to be implemented into a single application specif ic integrated chip.
