Patent ID: 8451927

Claim:
A multi-carrier communications system, comprising: a transmitter that transmits plural data series by the same subcarrier from plural antennas and a receiver that receives the plural data series with plural antennas; wherein: the transmitter transmits the plural data series with a transmitting pulse period [−Ts, Ts], and a multiplicity of transmitting signal Mt, and includes a means for delaying the k-th (2<=K<=Mt) transmitting signal of a part series of the plural data series for Ts(K−1)/Mt from the first transmitting signal and transmitting from the plural antennas, and the receiver includes a means for receiving the signals transmitted from the transmitter with each antenna of the one or plural antennas and performing fractional sampling to the received signals, and a means for demodulating data of the plural data series obtained by the fractional sampling.
