Patent ID: 10236955

Abstract:
An embodiment of a system includes a transmitter and a receiver that is remote from the transmitter. The transmitter includes a first number of transmit antennas and a signal generator. The transmit antennas are each spaced from another of the transmit antennas by approximately a distance and configured to provide, at one or more wavelengths that are greater than twice the distance, a channel capacity that exceeds a saturation channel capacity. And the signal generator is configured to generate a second number of signals each having a wavelength that is greater than twice the distance, the second number related to a third number of signal pipes, and to couple each of the second number of signals to a respective one of the transmit antennas. The receiver includes a fourth number of antennas and a signal analyzer. The receive antennas are each spaced from another of the receive antennas by approximately the distance, and are configured to provide, at one or more wavelengths that are greater than twice the distance, a channel capacity that exceeds the saturation channel capacity. And the signal analyzer is configured to recover information from each of the second number of signals received by at least one of the receive antennas over a respective one of the third number of signal pipes.
