Abstract: In the following a method to automate the preliminary equalization of combined signals in space diversity receivers is described. The method includes a start cycle in order to check the absence of irregular propagation of radio signals caused by atmospheric events, or to wait for the end of these events, followed by an equalization step of the centre-band amplitudes of the Main and Diversity signals, and by a cycle aiming at maximizing a target function  DELTA P that decreases with the absolute value of the delay  tau between the signals at the combination point. The second cycle includes a first step to check the absence of flat fading and of selective fading within the band of the modulated signal, followed by a cycle of phase shifting the Diversity signal with small phase variations, at each step the logarithmic value of the maximum and minimum amplitudes of the combined Vcomb signal is stored. After each 360 DEG  rotation, the  DELTA P function is calculated, that is given by the difference between the stored maximum and the minimum Vcomb values. The current DELTA P is compared with the  DELTA P measured at the previous 360 DEG  rotation, to check if it has increased or decreased. The INCREMENT  tau  on the Main signal path is then changed, which absolute value and sign, in the increasing direction of  DELTA P, depend on the starting delay and on the sign, or on the absolute value and sign, of the difference between the two  DELTA P. The procedure ends when the current  DELTA P exceeds a threshold set as target for the accuracy of the preliminary equalization (Figure 1). <IMAGE>
