Patent ID: 8576133

Claim:
A radio frequency (RF) receiver section comprises: an adjustable antenna assembly configured to provide a first receive antenna structure and a second receive antenna structure, the first and second receive antenna structures receive an inbound wide bandwidth RF signal that includes an interferer RF signal component with one or more outbound RF signals and a desired inbound RF signal component, wherein at least one of the first and the second receive antenna structures adjusts a polarization offset based on changing at least one characteristic of a plurality of characteristics of the first and second receive antenna structures to reduce signal strength of the interferer RF signal component, the adjustable antenna assembly functions to: in a first configuration, determine a first signal strength of the inbound wide bandwidth RF signal and a first signal strength of the desired inbound RF signal component; in another configuration, determine another signal strength of the inbound wide bandwidth RF signal and another signal strength of the desired inbound RF signal component; and determine the polarization offset based on the first and the another signal strength of the inbound wide bandwidth RF signal and the first and the another signal strength of the desired inbound RF signal component; a low noise amplifier module coupled to amplify the inbound wide bandwidth RF signal received by the first receive antenna structure and to amplify the inbound wide bandwidth RF signal received by the second receive antenna structure to produce at least one amplified inbound RF signal; and a down conversion module coupled to convert the at least one amplified inbound RF signal into at least one inbound symbol stream.
