Abstract
A receive antenna selection method and a diversity receive capable of preventing a deterioration in transmission efficiency in a multipath environment. A receive antenna for receiving a packet is selected during a period of time for which a preamble section of the packet is received, to thereby keep change-over between packets from being carried out during receiving of the packet. This eliminates a situation that a packet must be nullified due to generation of a bit error by change-over between receive antennas during receiving of the packet, to thereby keep transmission efficiency from being deteriorated even in a multipath environment.
