DIVERSITY RECEPTION SYSTEM

摘要

A diversity reception system for use in narrow-band radio frequency communication system includes a plurality of receivers (102), that each generate a detected signal (110) from a received radio frequency signal. The diversity reception system switches between receivers (102) to output a high quality audio signal (202). The system selects a receiver having the highest quality reception at any given time by using a detected signal having the highest relative signal-to-noise ratio and a detected signals have less than a preselected threshold signal-to-noise ratio and a detected signal having the highest relative signal strength when one or more of the receivers is generating a detected signal having a signal-to-noise ratio at or above the preselected threshold signal-to-noise ratio.
