                           This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1 through 4, 6 through 21, and                      
                   23 through 29.                                                                                                   
                           The disclosed invention relates to a method and system for equalizing a data                             
                   stream generated from a plurality of space time coded (STC) data streams, and received                           
                   from a plurality of transmit antenna elements.                                                                   
                           Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows:                               
                           1. A method of channel equalisation comprising:                                                          
                                  receiving a data stream generated from a plurality of space time coded                            
                           (STC) data streams received from a plurality of transmit antenna elements;                               
                                  generating via a fast transform a packet spectrum of at least a portion of                        
                           the data stream, the packet spectrum being a transform domain representation;
