Claim:
A method of transmitting signals in a multi-antenna system, the method comprising: generating a space-time code (STC) which performs an interleaving operation and a phase shift operation on acquired signals, wherein the space-time code is generated for N antennas and M time slots; performing a coding of the acquired signals using the generated space-time code; and transmitting the coded signals via a plurality of antennas, wherein the space-time code is represented as a matrix having N rows and M columns, and wherein the space-time code includes a matrix C New 2×2 as denoted by equation: ⁢ C New 2 × 2 = ( x ~ 1 x ~ 2 ⁢ ⅇ j ⁢ ⁢ θ r ⁢ ⁢ 1 x ~ 4 ⁢ ⅇ j ⁢ ⁢ θ r ⁢ ⁢ 2 x ~ 3 ) , where jx 1 imaginary , and {tilde over (x)} 4 =x 4 Real +jx 2 imaginary , where x i Real is indicative of a real part of x i (i=1, . . . , 4), where x i imaginary is indicative of an imaginary part of x i (i=1, . . . , 4), where x i (i=1, . . . , 4) is indicative of S i e jθ (i=1, . . . , 4), as denoted by x i =S i e jθ , 1, . . . , 4 where s i , i=1, . . . , 4 is a data symbol having a complex value of the acquired signals, θ is a phase angle of the acquired signals, and θ r1 and θ r2 are phase-shifting angles, wherein N is 2, and M is 2, and wherein a sum of the value of θ r1 and the value of θ r2 is equal to π 2 , as denoted by θ r ⁢ ⁢ 1 + θ r ⁢ ⁢ 2 = π 2 .
