Wireless audio signal transmission method for a three-dimensional sound system
First Claim
1. A method for wireless transmission of audio signals between a transmitting device and a receiving device, the receiving device having an audio signal reproduction device, the method comprising the steps of:
- digitizing the audio signals;
coding the digitized audio signals;
transmitting the coded digitized audio signals as separate data streams receiving the transmitted data streams;
decoding the received data streams;
outputting the decoded data streams through the audio signal reproduction device; and
providing transmitter diversity between the transmitting device and the receiving device where the transmitting device includes two transmitters each having an associated antenna and operating in the same frequency band, the receiving device having at least one receiving antenna and at least one receiver for the frequency band.

Abstract
A three-dimensional sound system includes a wireless audio signal transmission method for transmitting audio signals between a transmitting device and a spatially adjacent receiving device associated with an audio signal reproduction device such as a speaker. The audio signals may be digitized in the transmitting device, compressed, and transmitted by a digital high-frequency transmission method as data packets. Symbols may be assigned to the individual data in a quadrature signal plane. A diversity operation takes place between the transmitting device and the receiving device, where the transmitting device has two high-frequency transmitters with quadrature conversion which are each connected to an associated transmission antenna. On the receiver side, each audio signal reproduction device has a receiving device with one receiving antenna and one high-frequency receiver. Differentiation of the two received high-frequency data streams having the individual symbols in coded form may be implemented in a decoding device.
