Patent ID: 8107906

Claim:
A method of receive path performance diversity, the method comprising: receiving a first signal in a first signal path; band-pass filtering the first signal in the first signal path to attenuate frequencies outside of a first radio frequency (RF) operating band; filtering the band-pass filtered first signal, by notch filtering or band reject filtering, at one or more frequencies within the first RF operating band to attenuate one or more jamming signals and generate a first path intermediate signal; receiving a second signal in a second signal path; band-pass filtering the second signal in the second signal path to attenuate frequencies outside of the first RF operating band and generate a second path intermediate signal, wherein the first path intermediate signal is attenuated by said notch filtering or band reject filtering at one or more frequencies not attenuated in the second path intermediate signal; and combining a first path output signal that is at least based on the first path intermediate signal with a second path output signal that is at least based on the second path intermediate signal.
