Abstract:
1. In a wireless transmission system including a transmit delay module, delaying each of at least one copy of a signal by a respective delay, the signal being transmitted over a plurality of carrier frequencies and over at least one beam, the at least one beam exhibiting a beam pattern, the number of copies of the signal corresponding to the number of beams, each said at least one copy being associated with a respective one of said at least one beam, said system further including a beam pattern former, coupled with said transmit delay module, producing a plurality of transmit signals corresponding to the beam pattern, a frequency dependent beam shifter, coupled with the beam pattern former, delaying each of the at least one transmit signal by a respective angular shift delay, thereby applying an angular shift to each of the at least one beam, the angular shift of each of the at least one beam corresponding to at least a respective one of the carrier frequencies, wherein each beam is transmitted with a delay corresponding to the transmit delay of each said copy.
