Abstract
A diversity receiver includes a first receiving channel and a second receiving channel. The receiver also includes a baseband processor that computes a difference between the received signal strengths of the signals received from the first and second channels, wherein the processor disables the signal received from the second channel if the difference is greater than a first threshold value and a BER associated with the second receiving channel is greater than a BER threshold value, and disables the signal received from the first channel if the difference is less than the negative first threshold value and the bit error rate (BER) associated with the first channel is greater than the BER threshold value. The receiver further includes a bypass circuit coupled to an input of an amplifier and a RSSI circuit that provides a conduction path between the input and a ground when the RSSI circuit detects a blocker signal.
