Abstract

For use with a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmitter, an orthogonal preamble encoder, a method of encoding orthogonal preambles and a communication system incorporating the encoder or the method. In one embodiment, the encoder includes: (1) a preamble supplement generator configured to provide a first long sequence preamble supplement to a first transmit antenna of the MIMO transmitter and (2) a preamble supplement coordinator coupled to the preamble supplement generator and configured to provide a second long sequence preamble supplement to a second transmit antenna of the MIMO transmitter, at least a portion of the second long sequence preamble supplement being a negation of the first long sequence preamble supplement.
