1. An apparatus comprising: an encoder operative to: encode information for transmitting in accordance with an encoding scheme designed to take advantage of multiple spatial subchannels; and form a plurality of encoded spatial subchannel signals for the multiple subchannels; a spatial processor operative to accept the encoded spatial subchannel signals and spatially combine the encoded spatial subchannel signals to form orthogonal frequency subchannel information, one or more weights for a plurality of antenna elements defining the spatial combination; a processor operative to accept the orthogonal frequency subchannel information and form time signals from the frequency subchannel information; and an analog RF system operative to transmit the time signals via a plurality of antenna elements.
