  • Publication number: 20180152258
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, wireless communication devices are disposed, each including two orthogonal antennas, a transmitter, and a receiver using rotating polarized wave having a changeable transmission frequency. Specific codes are assigned to the devices, respectively and are shared. In a first of the devices, information and a first code are superimposed on a first carrier wave. In a second of the devices, the transmitted wave is received to reproduce the information with the codes assigned to the second device and the shared code assigned to the first device. The second device transmits second information through modulation using the code thereof. Each of the first and second devices adjusts the propagation frequency for a maximum ratio in intensity of a signal reproduced with the code assigned to another device to an intensity of a signal reproduced with the code assigned to the own device.
