METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE ANTENNA COMMUNICATIONS USING MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION MODES, RELATED APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

A system for diversity processing a signal (INPUT) propagated via two diversity antennas (1, 2) includes: respective propagation paths for propagating two replicas of the signal (INPUT), these propagation paths being coupled to the two diversity antennas (1, 2), so that the replicas are propagated via different antennas (1, 2) ; a time variable delay element (16) for subjecting at least one of the replicas to a time variable delay; and a level adjusting element, such as an asymmetric 15 splitter (14) to produce a level imbalance (A) between the power levels of the replicas propagated via the two diversity antennas (1, 2).
