Abstract
The disclosed invention relates to a MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) wideband transceiver. In some cases, the MIMO wideband transceiver comprises a signal processor that outputs or receives a plurality of distinguishable data streams. A first data stream is provided to a first antenna port connected to a plurality of wideband antennas, while a second data stream is provided to a second antenna port connected to a wideband antenna. A spatial filter element configured to assign antenna weights to the plurality of wideband antennas, which cause the wideband antennas to operate in a manner that attenuates wireless signals, at a frequency range at which the wideband transmit wideband radiate, in the direction of the wideband antenna without attenuating the wireless signals in other directions. By attenuating signals extending between the plurality of wideband antennas and the wideband antenna, wideband decoupling between first and second antenna ports is achieved.
