Abstract
A transceiver has a first antenna and a second antenna for transmitting alternatively a frequency-hopped sounding reference signal (SRS) over a sub-band of a bandwidth at a time. The transceiver includes a determination unit for determining whether a number of sub-bands in the bandwidth is odd or even, a transmitter for transmitting the SRS continuously from the first antenna, if the number of sub-bands is even, and a receiver for receiving a response to the transmitting.
