Abstract

In a MIMO system using a cross-polarized antenna structure, even if no ideal XPD can be obtained, the interference between different polarized waves can be reduced to allow an effective precoding to be executed. When a MIMO communication is performed between a transmitter (250) and a receiver (260) each using a cross-polarized antenna structure, a channel estimating and precoding selection section (214) of the receiver (260) performs a channel estimation of MIMO channels from the transmitter to the receiver, decides a precoding matrix (P) of a projection matrix for mutually orthogonalizing or substantially orthogonalizing the channel response matrixes for respective different polarized waves, and feeds the determined precoding matrix (P) back to the transmitter (250). In the transmitter (250), a precoding processing section (208) applies the precoding matrix (P) to the spatial stream corresponding to one of the polarized waves to perform a precoding, thereby allowing the transmitter (250) to transmit the polarized waves with the orthogonality therebetween maintained.
