The signal includes bits of data. Each of the filter modules: receives corresponding ones of the multipath components of the signal as received at a respective one of the antennas; and according to the wireless communication protocol standard, filters the signal as received at the respective one of the antennas to generate a filtered signal. The receiver modules respectively receive the filtered signals. Each of the receiver modules combines the multipath components in the respective filtered signal to generate an output signal. Each of the output signals includes a respective version of the bits of data. The summer sums the output signals.
