Abstract:
1. A transmitter, comprising: at least one first multiplier configured to weigh a first input signal with a first vector to form at least one first weighted signal; at least one second multiplier configured to weigh a second input signal with a second vector to form a second weighted signal; at least one combiner configured to combine the at least one first weighted signal with the at least one second weighted signal to form a transmissible signal; and an antenna array configured to transmit the transmissible signal; wherein the at least one first multiplier or the at least one second multiplier is configured to compute the first vector or the second vector, respectively, using eigenvalue decomposition; wherein the at least one first multiplier further comprises a first vector multiplier and a second vector multiplier; wherein the first vector multiplier is configured to weigh the first input signal with a first transmitter vector to form a first transmitter vector weighted signal; and wherein the second vector multiplier is configured to weigh the first input signal with a second transmitter vector to form a second transmitter vector weighted signal.
