This may be either transmitted on all Tx antennas via a method such as Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD), or on a single antenna. These are implementation options. Requirement: These fields must be transmitted in an omni-directional mode that can be demodulated by legacy receivers. or single antenna Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et al

  22. Why Tone Interleaving on HT-LTF? No toneinterleaving Clipping in Rx ADC? Even if all spatial streams are transmitted with equal power, they can create power differences at the receiver. For Model B (15 n sec delay spread) this can result in frequent power differentials of ~6dB between spatial streams. Tone interleaving of spatial streams results in averaging power levels across all spatial streams on each training symbol. The result is essentially no Rx power fluctuation of the STS and LTS with respect to the data symbols. Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et al
