Conventional filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) wireless communication systems offer superior spectral properties compared to the cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) approach, at the cost of an inherent shortcoming in dispersive channels called intrinsic imaginary interference. In this disclosure the DP-FBMC system was disclosed. A DP-FBMC based communication system uses two orthogonal polarizations for wireless communication systems: dual-polarization FBMC (DP-FBMC). The system significantly suppresses FBMC intrinsic interference. For the disclosed DP-FBMC all the multicarrier techniques used in CP-OFDM systems for channel equalization etc., are applicable without using complex processing methods that are required for conventional FBMC. Disclosed DP-FBMC also is more robust in multipath fading channels, and also to receiver carrier frequency offset (CFO) and Timing offset (TO). In the disclosed DP-FBMC system, three different structures may be used based on different multiplexing techniques.
