Abstract
The invention relates to interpretation of a transmitted signal from signals obtained at the signal reception end from an antenna vector including several antenna elements. The inventive idea is to interpret the signal in two steps. In the first step, directed signal beams are formed of the multidimensional signal obtained from the antenna vector. In the second step, the directed signals are input to an optimum merger which deduces the transmitted signal from several signal branches used as input.
