Abstract
In a method () for receiving a radio signal, there are steps of: receiving () first and second received signal components by use of first and second antennas having different properties; processing () a received signal component to produce a sampled signal component; producing () at least one combined signal, which is a linear combination of at least two sampled signal components; and selecting () at least one set of complex values for coefficients of the linear combination so that a quality of a combined signal is at least equal to the quality of that sampled signal component having the best quality. Furthermore, the antennas are alternately connected () via a switching element to radio frequency means so that received signal components are interleaving and so that first and second parts of a certain piece of transmitted information are received with the first and second antennas, respectively. A corresponding receiver device is also presented.
