Abstract
A diversity antenna system and method comprising a plurality of antennas, a plurality of switches and a plurality of phase shifters, wherein the switches and the antennas are selectively opened and closed or switched on an off to achieve equiphasing. This system separates the noise signal from the useful signal in order to achieve a proper determination of the different phases. In addition there is a receiver which is configured to receive the output of the diversity system. The logic control unit is configured to perform particular steps or algorithms in order to achieve equiphasing of the received signals.
