SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF SPACE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS AND OTHER SYSTEMS THAT SHAPE ANTENNA BEAMS BY EMPLOYING POSTDETECTION POLARIMETRIC BEAMSTEERING AND UTILIZING GENETIC ALGORITHMS TO SYNTHESIZE BEAMS

摘要

A system for increasing capacity of an SDMA system that shapes antenna beams by employing post-detection polarimetric beamsteering to synthesize an antenna pattern dedicated to a particular source and also a polarization that more closely matches that of the source. The system comprises a first array of antenna element 02 and a second array of differently-polarized antenna elements 04, one or more receivers 06, 08 for converting the RF signal to baseband and one or more signal processors 10.
