Abstract
A radio subscriber unit (102) comprises a controller (108) and a switched antenna diversity receiver apparatus (106) including a first antenna (114), a second antenna (116) and a receiver (126). The first antenna (114) is adapted to receive a first representation (158) of a radio frequency (RF) signal (156). The second antenna (116) is adapted to receive a second representation (160) of the RF signal (156). The receiver (126), selectively coupled to the first antenna (114) and the second antenna (116), generates a received signal (153) responsive to receiving at least one of the first representation (158) of the RF signal (156) from the first antenna (114) and the second representation (160) of the RF signal (156) from the second antenna (116). The controller (108), coupled to the receiver (126), selectively couples to the receiver (126), responsive to the received signal (153), one of: only the first antenna (114), only the second antenna (116) and both the first antenna (114) and the second antenna (116).
