Abstract
A receiver has a plurality of antennas for receiving a signal. The signal includes a data packet. The receiver includes a correlator to correlate a spreading code with a preamble of the data packet. A first processor determines a signal quality value of the signal at each of the plurality of antennas. The signal quality value at each of the plurality of antennas is determined during the correlation of the spreading code with the preamble of the data packet. A decision unit selects a first antenna of the plurality of antennas for reception of the signal based on the signal quality value determined at each of the plurality of antennas.
