The present invention generally relates to the field of 
wireless communication systems. It particularly refers to a spatial diversity 
transmitter (110) and a spatial diversity 
receiver (120) in a 
wireless multiple-input multiple-output (
MIMO) 
spatial multiplexing system as well as a corresponding method for wirelessly transmitting and receiving modulated RF signals via multiple 
wireless signal propagation paths (Pl) of a multipath 
fading channel in a way that correlation between the MEMO channel components are reduced and / or the 
signal to interference plus 
noise ratio (SINR) is increased which hence result in an improved 
bit error rate (BER) or packet error rate (PER) performance of said wireless 
MIMO spatial multiplexing system. On the 
receiver side, for example, this is achieved by controlling at least one antenna switching and / or combining means (121a′+b′) to select a specific combination of different 
fixed beam antennas (121a+b) from each 
receiver-resident 
antenna array. According to the invention, said selection is based on estimated values of the channel impulse responses (hl(τl, t)) for said 
signal propagation paths (Pl). An antenna beam selection control means (129) is configured for selecting a specific antenna beam combination so as to maximize the average signal-to-interference-plus-
noise ratios ( γl) of RF signals (rl(τl, t, φl)) received via said multiple 
wireless signal propagation paths (Pl) and / or to minimize the correlation coefficients (ρr<sub2>l1< / sub2>r<sub2>l2< / sub2>(t)) indicating the correlations of different pairs of these RF signals (rl1(τl1, t, φl1) and rl2(τl2, t, φl2)).Thereby, each 
fixed beam antenna (121a+b) of the receiver-resident antenna arrays has a distinct 
radiation pattern with a different beam center and / or beam width in the 
azimuth and / or elevation plane, wherein a superposition of all these 
radiation patterns may cover all possible azimuthal (φ) and / or elevational angles of arrival (θ) of an RF signal (s(t)).For compensating detected multipath fades in the channel 
amplitude response (|Hl(f, t)|) of at least one signal propagation path (Pl) between the spatial diversity 
transmitter (110) and the spatial diversity receiver (120), a receiver-resident channel 
estimation and / or 
equalization circuitry (124, 128) is applied.
