Receiver comprising at least two receive branches

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a receiver (5a 5b, 10) comprising at least two, receive branches (a b) and including an arrangement (10) for combining the receive, branches (a, b). This is to avoid that separate equalizers are necessary for each receive, branch. There is proposed that each receive branch (a b) comprises a matched, filter (1a, 1b) and an arrangement (6a 6b) for forming an autocorrelation , function (A1 A2) for each estimated impulse response (H1 H2) of the individual receive , branches (a b), that the receiver (5a, 5b, 10) comprises a first adder circuit (11) for adding together, the output signals (z a' z b') weighted with weight factors of the matched filters (1a, 1b), to …
