Abstract
An interface including filter modules, receiver modules, and a summer. The filter modules are configured to receive from multiple antennas multipath components of a signal as transmitted to the interface. Each of the filter modules is configured to (i) receive corresponding ones of the multipath components of the signal as received at a respective one of the antennas, and (ii) according to a wireless communication protocol standard, filter the signal as received at the respective one of the antennas to generate a filtered signal. The wireless communication protocol standard is designed for a receiver having only a single antenna for receiving signals. The receiver modules are configured to respectively receive the filtered signals. Each of the receiver modules is configured to combine the multipath components in the respective filtered signal to generate an output signal. The summer is configured to sum the output signals.
