Abstract
A communication receiver implements receive space diversity to combine or select signals received from a same source on at least two spatially separated antennas in which the signals may vary in their fading characteristics at a given time. The receiver includes a RF processing module for down-converting and multiplexing the signals and a baseband processing module for converting the signals into digital signals, generating code sequences, producing despreaded and demultiplexed in-phase signals, and retrieving data initially contained within the received signals.
