We show that under certain conditions every maximal symmetric subfield of a central division algebra with positive unitary involution $ (B, \tau) $ will be a Galois extension of the fixed field of $ \tau $ and will "real split" $ (B, \tau) $. As an application we show that a sufficient condition for the existence of positive involutions on certain crossed product division algebras over number fields, considered by Berhuy in the context of unitary space-time coding, is also necessary, proving that Berhuy's construction is optimal.

Keywords: Central division algebra, unitary involution, real splitting, positive involution, algebraic coding, unitary space-time code.
