Patent ID: 6947507

Claim:
A method of processing transmit signals S tr that are received over a receive channel C rcv which is formed by a plurality of receive paths, the method comprising the steps of: receiving said transmit signals S tr with a plurality of spatially separated antennas to form respective receive signals S rcv ; and spatially and temporally processing said receive signals S rcv to form a combined corrected signal S crctcmb that reduces errors in at least one signal parameter; wherein said processing step includes the step of correcting said receive signals S rcv to form respective corrected signals S crct that reduce errors in said signal parameter and further including the steps of: comparing said signal parameter of at least one of said corrected signals S crct to a known corresponding signal parameter to detect a difference; and altering phase and gain of said corrected signal S crct to reduce said difference below a predetermined threshold and thereby reduce the contribution of an interference signal to said combined corrected signal S crctcmb .
