Abstract
A communications system having at least one transmitter and at least one receiver, wherein the transmitters and/or receivers have an angular dependence, such that at least one response of the receivers to a received signal and/or at least one property of the signals transmitted by the transmitters is angularly dependent; the receiver and transmitter and/or the signals transmitted by the transmitters of two or more transmitter-receiver pairs have a distinct associated angular arrangement or relationship, wherein the at least one angularly dependent response of the receivers to the signal and/or the at least one angularly dependent property of the signal is dependent on the angular arrangement or relationship; and the system is configured to use the angularly dependent property and/or response to identify or discriminate the transmitter from which the signal was transmitted and/or at least one communication channel associated therewith.
