Abstract
In one embodiment, a mobile communication device comprises a transceiver operably connected to a first antenna and to a second antenna; and a controller operably connected to the transceiver and to a memory having instructions that when executed by the controller generates, based on determining that one of a first signal from the first antenna and a second signal from the second antenna is weak, a resultant signal from a remaining signal of the first signal and the second signal.

A mobile communication device comprising:
- a transceiver operably connected to a first antenna and to a second antenna;
- and
- a controller operably connected to said transceiver and to a memory having instructions that when executed by said controller generates, based on determining that one of a first signal from said first antenna and a second signal from said second antenna is weak, a resultant signal from a remaining signal of said first signal and said second signal and responsive to said determining, generating, from a raw outgoing signal, a first transformed outgoing signal and a second transformed outgoing signal for said first antenna and said second antenna respectively.
A method of operating a mobile communications device having a housing, a wireless transceiver and a plurality of antennas connected to the wireless transceiver, the method comprising:
- determining that one of a first signal received via a first antenna and a second signal received via a second antenna is weak;
- responsive to the determining, generating a resultant signal from a remaining signal of the first and second signals;
- and
- responsive to the determining, generating, from a raw outgoing signal, a first transformed outgoing signal and a second transformed outgoing signal for said first antenna and said second antenna respectively.
