AFAIK Orthogon uses high-order modulation to do that, in 30MHz channels both H and V polarisation. Atheros WiFi cards in most radios use 64QAM maximum, single polarisation (unless you use 2 cards) in 5, 10, 20 or 40MHz channels. All WiMax/802.16 profiles I've see use 64QAM maximum, single polarisat
