Abstract

In the context of new high-data-rate wireless communications, multiple antenna systems are now taken into account early in the design phase. A new combining technique, OSC-SSBC (Orthogonal Space Combining – Space-Space Block Coding), was proposed by the authors as an alternative to STBC (Space-Time Block Coding) in MIMO systems, which is still based on high redundancy algorithms. The new receiver technique enables multiple antenna systems to significantly increase capacity (close to double), using a special adaptive antenna array. Based on the block diagram and mathematics of a 2Tx-2Rx OSC-SSBC configuration, we propose here an implementation solution that we call a virtualized parametric antenna.
