Abstract: A device for receiving and/or emitting an electromagnetic wave having a free space wavelength ?0 comprised between 1 mm and 10 cm, comprising a medium (11) of solid dielectric material and the free space wavelength ?0 corresponding to a wavelength ? inside the medium, a plurality of conductor elements (12) incorporated inside the medium and spaced apart from each other of a distance lower than ?/10, and one antenna element (13). The conductor elements form small loop elements. A tuned conductor element among the conductor elements has a first end at a distance from the antenna element which is lower than ?/10, and has an electric resonance frequency corresponding to the wavelength ?.

Abstract: A method for transmitting digital data on a communication channel, between a transmitter base comprising N transmission antennas and K receivers. A signal carrier of frequency f0 and M sub-carriers of index m are used, adapted to transport K streams of digital data sk in parallel between the transmitter base and each receiver. The method comprises a step in which N.M complex symbols tn(m) are calculated from K.M symbols sk(m), by t n ? ( m ) = ? k = 1 K ? ? k · H k , n * ? ( m ) · s k ? ( m ) , where * denotes a complex conjugate, Hk,n(m) is a complex value estimating the transfer function of the communication channel between the transmission antenna n and the receiving antenna k at a corresponding frequency of the sub-carrier m, and ?k is a normalization coefficient.
