Abstract:
1. A system for communicating three or more independent signals each generated by a respective source and sharing the same frequency bandwidth, the three or more independent signals not being coherently related with one another, the system comprising: a transmitter subsystem comprising a transmitter polarization module and a transmitter antenna having first and second linearly polarized antenna ports, the transmitter polarization module comprising circuitry configured to obtain first and second combinations of the three or more independent signals and to respectively output the first and second combinations to the first and second antenna ports, the first and second combinations being different than one another and each of said combination comprises a different subset of said three or more independent signals, the first antenna port being configured to transmit the first combination at a first polarization and the second antenna port being configured to transmit the second combination at a second polarization orthogonal to the first polarization so as to generate three or more distinct non-orthogonal polarization components, each non-orthogonal polarization component transmitting one of the three or more independent signals.
