(57) ABSTRACT Systems and methods that provide channel bonding in multiple antenna communication systems are provided. In one embodiment, a method for signal transmission over a plurality of antennas of a transmitter may include, for example, one or more of the folloWing: demultiplexing an input signal into a plurality of signal components; assigning each of the signal components to one of a plurality of logical channels; Weighting each of the signal components With transmit baseband Weight values; combining ones of the resultant Weighted signal components to form a plurality of transmit Weighted signals, each of the plurality of transmit Weighted signals being assigned to one of the plurality of logical channels; and combining groups of the plurality of transmit Weighted signals to form a plurality of output signals capable of being used to generate a plurality RF output signals.
