A method of processing an RF signal received via a plurality of directional antenna elements (A, B), the method including the steps of: - selecting a sub-set of received RF signals ( r i, r j) from said antenna elements, said sub-set including a given number M of RF signals ( r i, r j), with M ≥ 2, - combining said M RF signals ( r i, r j) of said selected sub-set into a single RF signal for demodulation, wherein the step of selecting said sub-set of received RF signals ( r i, r j) includes: - producing selective combinations of sub-sets of M received RF signals ( r i, r j) from said plurality of antenna elements (A, B) by applying relative RF phase shift weights to the RF signals ( r i, r j) that are combined, wherein the selective combinations include M received RF signals ( r i, r j) from M adjacent antenna elements (A, B), - generating (12006, 13004) for each said selective combination of RF signals at least one radio performance indicator representative of the quality of the RF signals in the combination, and - identifying the sub-set to be selected as a function of said at least one radio performance indicator generated for said selective combinations of said received RF signals ( r i, r j), characterized in that said step of selecting said sub-set of received RF signals ( r i, r j) includes: - selecting (10010, 10014 to 10018) as a first element of said sub-set ( r i, r j) a RF signal (r 1,..., r N) giving a best value for said at least one radio performance indicator, and - selecting (11014, 11018 to 11024, 11114, 11118 to 11124) as a subsequent element of said sub-set ( r i, r j) at least one RF signal (r 1,..., r N) selected as a function of said at least one radio performance indicator and the respective angular diversity to said first element of said sub-set of received RF signals ( r i, r j). - selecting a sub-set of received RF signals ( r i, r j) from said antenna elements, said sub-set including a given number M of RF signals ( r i, r j), with M ≥ 2, - combining said M RF signals ( r i, r j) of said selected sub-set into a single RF signal for demodulation, - producing selective combinations of sub-sets of M received RF signals ( r i, r j) from said plurality of antenna elements (A, B) by applying relative RF phase shift weights to the RF signals ( r i, r j) that are combined, wherein the selective combinations include M received RF signals ( r i, r j) from M adjacent antenna elements (A, B), - generating (12006, 13004) for each said selective combination of RF signals at least one radio performance indicator representative of the quality of the RF signals in the combination, and - identifying the sub-set to be selected as a function of said at least one radio performance indicator generated for said selective combinations of said received RF signals ( r i, r j), - selecting (10010, 10014 to 10018) as a first element of said sub-set ( r i, r j) a RF signal (r 1,..., r N) giving a best value for said at least one radio performance indicator, and - selecting (11014, 11018 to 11024, 11114, 11118 to 11124) as a subsequent element of said sub-set ( r i, r j) at least one RF signal (r 1,..., r N) selected as a function of said at least one radio performance indicator and the respective angular diversity to said first element of said sub-set of received RF signals ( r i, r j).
