Patent ID: 8335542

Claim:
A reconfigurable wireless transmission system comprising: a digital processor adapted to receive at least first and second incoming data streams and generate at least first and second outgoing data streams; a first transmission path adapted to receive the first outgoing data stream and generate a first analog output signal; a second transmission path adapted to receive the second outgoing data stream and generate a second analog output signal; a switching sub-system that enables the system to be configured in any one of at least first and second transmission modes, wherein: in the first transmission mode, the first analog output signal is transmitted via a first antenna and the second analog output signal is transmitted via a second antenna; and in the second transmission mode, the first and second analog output signals are combined for transmission via the first antenna; and a feedback path connected to feed back a difference signal, corresponding to the first and second analog output signals, from the switching sub-system to the digital processor for use in controlling the second transmission mode.
