Abstract

A receiver comprising an antenna array having a number of antenna elements. The antenna array is fed by a feeder. Switching apparatus are arranged for switching at least a first antenna element to the feeder or at least a second antenna element to the feeder. This provides a spatial shift of the antenna array without changing its radiation pattern. This improves the signal level when poor signal reception occurs due to multipath fading.
