Abstract
A proportional diversity radio system for mobile vehicles combats both short time delay multipath and long time delay multipath by mixing separate tuner signals obtained using separate space diversity antennas. The relative contribution of each tuner signal to a final mixed tuner output is determined in direct relation to their respective signal strength signals and inverse relation to their respective long time delay multipath noise signals.
