Patent ID: 7961825

Claim:
A diversity receiver comprising: an error correction device configured to error-correct respective demodulated outputs fed thereto from a plurality of branches that demodulate respective reception signals from a plurality of antennas and to generate error information on error-uncorrectable data, wherein the error correction device outputs, with regard to the respective demodulated outputs from the plurality of branches, at least one of a bit error signal that indicates an error per bit, a byte error signal that indicates an error per byte, and a packet error signal that indicates an error per packet; an error determination device configured to determine error-incidence situations for the respective demodulated outputs, based on error information from the error correction device, wherein the error determination device has a selector that selects one of a bit error signal that indicates an error per bit, a byte error signal that indicates an error per byte, and a packet error signal that indicates an error per packet, from the error correction device, in order to determine the error-incidence situations for the respective demodulated outputs; and a coefficient generation unit configured to obtain synthesis coefficients for the respective demodulated outputs, based on the results of determination by the error determination device.
