Abstract
A receiver chain () for use in a wireless communication system includes a compact, highly correlated, multi-element antenna. The multiple antenna elements () and () are configured to receive a signal from at least one base station. The highly correlated signals output from the antenna elements (and) are optimally combined in a controller () using a set of weighting factors. The set of weighting factors for each base station signal is determined in response to the spatial signatures of the received signals.
