Antenna diversity implementation for wireless locks

An electronic lock system, comprising:

• an interface module including a wireless transmitter, the wireless transmitter configured to transmit wireless signals to modify an operating condition of the door lock;
• an electronic door lock including a housing located on a first side of a door, a controller, a wireless receiver operatively connected to the controller, and a first antenna and second antenna, each operatively connected to the receiver, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are located within the housing and oriented toward the interface module;
• and
• wherein the controller is configured to execute stored program instructions to:
• determine a first strength of a first RF signal received by the first antenna;
• determine a second signal strength of a second RF signal received by the second antenna;
• compare the first signal strength to the second signal strength to determine which is greater;
• and
• determine information of the greater of the first signal and the second signal based on the compared first signal strength and the second signal strength.

An electronic lock system, comprising:

• an access control device configured to provide system instructions;
• an interface module electrically coupled to the access control device and configured to transmit RF signals in response to system instructions received from the access control device;
• and
• a plurality of wireless electronic door locks each configured to wirelessly communicate with the interface module, wherein each of the wireless electronic door locks includes a housing having disposed therein a controller and a wireless receiver operatively connected to the controller, the wireless receiver including a first antenna and a second antenna spaced from the first antenna, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna of each of the plurality of wireless electronic door locks are located within the housing on a first side of the door and oriented toward the interface module.
