Abstract:
1. A transmitter for transmitting signals on a channel within a band of channels, the transmitter adapted to: determine the location of the channel within the band; select, based on the determined location of the channel within the band, either a lower sideband or an upper sideband for use in transmitting signals, wherein the lower sideband is selected for transmitting signals if the channel is the lowest-frequency channel in the band, and the upper sideband is selected for transmitting signals if the channel is the highest-frequency channel in the band; receive at least two streams of input data; process the at least two streams of input data; and transmit on the channel, using the selected sideband, signals corresponding to both processed streams of input data, wherein the signals corresponding to the first stream of input data are transmitted over a first antenna, and the signals corresponding to the second stream of input data are transmitted over a second antenna different from the first antenna.
