Abstract
An antenna diversity receiver is disclosed. The diversity receiver has a multipath detector for controlling an antenna selective switching circuit. The switching circuit couples one of a plurality of antennas to a RF receiver input. The receiver allows suppression of adjacent channel interferences without unwanted side effects by employing a switching disabling circuit to automatically disabling the switching circuit when the signal delay between the occurrence of multipath distortions in the RF reception signal and the switching between antennas exceeds a predetermined critical signal delay value.
