1. A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system comprising a transmitter with L transmit antennas, a receiver with M receive antennas, and an uplink feedback device for providing information of the receiver to the transmitter, wherein the transmitter comprises:

  • a serial/parallel converter for converting continuously inputted symbols of a number of subcarriers to K parallel signals;

    a signal reproducer for reproducing K parallel signals by the number L of transmit antennas;

    an eigenmode generator for generating eigenbeams of the reproduced signals outputted from the signal reproducer at each subcarrier, on the basis of Nf eigenbeam forming vectors which are fed back long-term and information of a best eigenbeam forming vector at each subcarrier which is fed back short-term, through the feedback device; and

    a plurality of inverse Fourier converters for receiving the signals outputted from the eigenmode generator and generating an OFDM symbol.
