Certain aspects of a method and system for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system having enhanced diversity are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include selecting a group of antennas from a plurality of antennas within a radio frequency (RF) system. Data may be communicated via the selected group of antennas. The selected group of antennas may comprise at least one polarized antenna that is orthogonally polarized with respect to adjacent polarized antennas. The plurality of coherently polarized antennas may be placed at a particular distance from each other.
