Abstract
An apparatus includes a phase delay module that is configured to receive a set of signals from an antenna assembly having a horizontal polarization element and an elliptical polarization element. The horizontal polarization element and the elliptical polarization element are collectively configured to receive the set of signals over a coverage area. The phase delay module is configured to determine (1) a signal strength of a first signal from the set of signals received via the horizontal polarization element and (2) a signal strength of a second signal from the set of signals received via the elliptical polarization element. The phase delay module is configured to send a combined signal including (1) the first signal and (2) the second signal having a phase delay if the signal strength of the first signal is higher than the signal strength of the second signal.
