Transmit antenna diversity wireless audio system

A wireless audio transmitter, comprising:

• a plurality of antennas configured to each transmit a combined audio signal;
• an encoder configured to encode a data symbol and a pilot symbol based on a first diversity technique;
• a synchronization transformer configured to transform a synchronization signal based on a second diversity technique;
• and
• a plurality of converters each in communication with the encoder, the synchronization transformer, and one of the plurality of antennas, wherein each of the plurality of converters is configured to combine the encoded data symbol, the encoded pilot symbol, and the transformed synchronization signal into the combined audio signal, and transmit, based on the first diversity technique, the combined signal on one or more of the plurality of antennas.

A method for wirelessly transmitting a combined audio signal using a wireless audio transmitter, comprising:

• encoding a data symbol and a pilot symbol based on a first diversity technique;
• transforming synchronization signal based on a second diversity technique;
• combining the encoded data symbol, the encoded pilot symbol, and the transformed synchronization signal into the combined audio signal;
• and
• transmitting the combined audio signal on at least one of a plurality of antennas.
