| 摘要 |
<p>The invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting digital signal information (10) to a receiver using a plurality of antennas (55,55). The invention involves applying a channel code (20) to a digital signal (x(i)) producing one or more symbols (a(n)). A plurality of symbol copies is made and each copy (u(n)) is weighted (in 50) by a distinct time varying function. Each antenna transmits a signal based on one of the weighted symbol copies (c1(n) .. CM(n)). Any channel code may be used with the invention, such as a convolutional channel code or block channel code. Weighting provided to symbol copies may involve application of an amplitude gain, phase shift, or both. The present invention may be used in combination with either or both conventional interleavers and constellation mappers. <IMAGE></p> |
