1. ) A wireless communication terminal able to simultaneously transmit and/or receive signals in a predetermined band of frequencies, comprising:

  • a MIMO device able to generate N MIMO signals in said predetermined frequency band from n signals in baseband or to generate n signals in baseband from N MIMO signals in said predetermined frequency band, with N>

    n≧

    2,M antennas to receive and/or transmit the N MIMO signals with M≧

    N/2, anda switching device to connect the NINO device to the M antennas,characterized in that the MIMO device comprises a first MIMO circuit able to generate, from a baseband signal, N1 MIMO signals in a first sub-band of said predetermined frequency band or to generate, from N1 MIMO signals in said first sub-band, a baseband signal, and a second MIMO circuit able to generate, from a baseband signal, N2 MIMO signals in a second sub-band of said predetermined frequency band or to generate from N2 MIMO signals in said first sub-band, a baseband signal, with N1+N2=N, said first and second sub-bands being non-overlapping,and in that the switching device comprises first and second channels adapted to connect said first and second MIMO channels to the antennas in such a way that each of said M antennas is able to receive or transmit one of the N1 MIMO signals of the first MIMO circuit and to receive or transmit one of the N2 MIMO signals of the second MIMO circuit simultaneously and also comprises a filtering device associated with each antenna comprising the first and the second channels in order to isolate the MIMO signal from the first sub-band of the MIMO signal of the second sub-band both received or transmitted by said antenna.
