ABSTRACT:
A receiver system for antenna diversity employing a single backhaul cable. A single backhaul cable couples a receiver to a plurality of antennas. The signals from the antennas are combined onto the single backhaul cable using frequency offsets, spread spectrum code division, time division, or a combination thereof. At the receiver, the signals from the antennas are decoupled. In the case of frequency offsets, the antenna signals are decoupled by splitting the backhaul signal into a plurality of duplicate signals, frequency shifting selected ones of the duplicate signals, and correlating said frequency shifted signals. In the case of spread spectrum code division, the antenna signals are decoupled by splitting the backhaul signal into a plurality of duplicate signals and demultiplexing each of the duplicate signals with a different spread spectrum code. One or more antennas may be selected for communication in response decoupling the antenna signals.
