Abstract
A communication device (,) includes multiple antennas (,), multiple receivers (,), and a processor (,). The communication device receives a first radio frequency (RF) signal via a first antenna (,) of the multiple antennas and a second RF signal via a second antenna (,) of the multiple antennas. The communication device determines a signal metric for the first RF signal and a signal metric for the second RF signal, compares the determined signal metrics to produce a signal metric comparison, and generates an error signal based on the signal metric comparison. The error signal may be remotely monitored for prompt corrective action.
