Abstract
A multiple antenna receiver receives a wideband signal containing two or more sub-signals of interest. The receiver may be selectively configured to receive all sub-signals of interest with all antennas, or to receive different sub-signals of interest with different antennas.
Claims19
A method for receiving a wideband signal including multiple sub-signals, said method comprising:
- configuring a first front end circuit to receive a first sub-signal of the multiple sub-signals;
- selectively assigning a first receive antenna to receive the first sub-signal by connecting the first receive antenna to the first front end circuit;
- configuring a second front end circuit to receive a second sub-signal of the multiple sub-signals;
- and
- selectively assigning a second receive antenna to receive the second sub-signal by connecting the second receive antenna to the second front end circuit.

A multi-antenna receiver configured to receive a wideband signal containing a plurality of sub-signals, comprising:
- a plurality of receive antennas;
- a plurality of front end circuits;
- a control unit configured to:
- configure a first front end circuit to receive a first sub-signal of the plurality of sub-signals;
- selectively assign a first one of said selected receive antennas to receive the first sub-signal;
- configure a second front end circuit to receive a second sub-signal of the plurality of sub-signals;
- and
- selectively assign a second one of said selected receive antennas to receive the second sub-signal;
- and
- an antenna selection circuit, responsive to said control unit, configured to connect the first and second receive antennas to the first and second front end circuits respectively.
