System and method of a stereo receiving system

A stereo receiving system comprising:

• at least a first antenna receiving a first RF signal and a second antenna receiving a second RF signal, wherein said first and second RF signals have a common frequency but potentially different phases;
• a receiving device having at least an amplitude modulated (AM) detector output and a frequency modulated (FM) detector output that includes a pilot signal, wherein said receiving device is in electrical communication with said first and second antennas;
• at least a first summing device in electrical communication between said first antenna and said receiving device, and a second summing device in electrical communication between said second antenna and said receiving device;
• a phase lock loop device in electrical communication with said receiving device, wherein said phase lock loop device locks onto said pilot signal and emits a perturbation frequency signal;
• a controllable phase shifter device in electrical communication between said first and second antennas and said first and second summing devices, wherein said controllable phase shifter device is responsive to at least said FM detector output and shifts the phase of at least one said RF signal by an amount sufficient to eliminate a phase error between said RF signals;
• at least a first AM modulator in electrical communication between said first antenna and said second summing device, and a second AM modulator in electrical communication between said second antenna and said first summing device;
• a synchronous detector in electrical communication with said receiving device that multiplies said perturbation frequency signal to said AM modulator output;
• a gain-control integrator that integrates an output from said synchronous detector;
• and
• a potentiometer device that receives outputs from said first and second summing devices, and biases an output signal towards one of said RF signals with the greater magnitude to control the signal-to-noise ratio of said RF signals aligned from said first and second antennas.

A method of receiving a signal by a stereo receiving system comprising the steps of:

• receiving a plurality of RF signals by a plurality of antennas;
• modulating said plurality of RF signals received from said plurality of antennas by a plurality of AM modulators;
• summing at least a first RF signal from a plurality of RF signals from a first antenna of said plurality of antennas with an AM modulated signal from a second antenna of said plurality of antennas by one of said plurality of AM modulators;
• summing at least a second RF signal from a plurality of RF signals from said second antenna with an AM modulated signal from said first antenna by one of said plurality of AM modulators;
• biasing an output of a potentiometer device towards one of said plurality of RF signals with the greater magnitude;
• receiving the biased output of the potentiometer device by a receiving device, wherein said receiving device has at least an AM detector output and an FM detector output that includes a pilot signal;
• locking onto said pilot signal by a phase lock loop device, wherein said phase lock loop device provides a perturbation frequency signal;
• multiplying said AM detector output and said perturbation frequency signal;
• and
• completing a loop to said potentiometer device for controlling the gain and signal-to-noise ratio of said RF signals.
