Patent ID: 8457264

Claim:
A radio receiver comprises: a first diversity antenna structure having a plurality of first antennas, wherein each of the plurality of first antennas is operably coupled to receive inbound radio frequency (RF) signals; a multiplexer attached to the first diversity antenna, wherein the multiplexer selects received inbound RF signals from one of the plurality of first antennas of the first diversity antenna structure based on a first antenna selection signal to produce first received inbound RF signals and wherein the multiplexer selects received inbound RF signals from a second one of the plurality of first antennas of the first diversity antenna structure based on a second antenna selection signal to produce second received inbound RF signals; a first RF receiver section operably coupled to convert the first received inbound RF signals into first inbound baseband signals; a second RF receiver section operably coupled to convert the second received inbound RF signals into second inbound baseband signals; a combining module operably coupled to combine the first and second inbound baseband signals to produce inbound baseband signals; and a baseband processing module operably coupled to: adjust at least one of gain and phase in a digital domain on a subcarrier by subcarrier basis of at least one of the first RF receiver section and the second RF receiver section based on signal integrity of at least one of the first received inbound RF signals and the second received inbound RF signals; and produce the first and second antenna selection signals based on signal integrity of the plurality of first antennas of the first diversity antenna structure.
