Abstract
A receiver that receives radio signals, and a method for the same. The radio signals may be received by a plurality of antennas and then demodulated by respective converter devices, an estimated channel device estimates a channel for at least one antenna and at least one beam-forming device performs beam-forming on a selected main path signal from among the demodulated incident data signals. The output signals from the at least one beam-forming device are combined. The method of receiving the incident data signals may be accomplished by using space diversity.
