Patent ID: 7586886

Claim:
A method for processing RF signals in a receiver, the method comprising: receiving HSDPA signals via a plurality of receive antennas of a mobile wireless communications device, HSDPA co-existing on a same carrier as WCDMA and UMTS services, HSDPA replacing at least variable spreading factor and fast power control of WCDMA with at least adaptive modulation and coding, multicode operation, and retransmission strategies; individually adjusting a phase in an RF analog domain of a portion of said received HSDPA signals via a single weight in the mobile wireless communications device; combining, in the RF analog domain and in the mobile wireless communications device, said phase adjusted portion of said received HSDPA signals with at least one of said received HSDPA signals to generate combined HSDPA signals; converting the combined HSPDA signals from the RF analog domain to a baseband digital domain; and digitally filtering the converted HSPDA signals for a WCDMA baseband bandwidth.
