Abstract
Various embodiments are described that relate to a combined signal. A signal can be transmitted from a transmitter and be received by a receiver. The receiver can be an antenna array that comprises multiple individual antenna elements. At least some of these individual elements can receive the transmitted signal at different reception angles and these received signals can be considered signal copies. The reception angle can influence a power level of a signal copy. Multiple signal copies can be combined together into a combined signal that has a greater power level than the individual signal copies used in the combination.
