  • Patent number: 5668839
    Abstract: A mixed combination strategy combiner for receivers operating in high capacity digital radio links and protected with space or angle diversity is described. The combiner comprises a system which calculates the amplitude dispersion in the spectrum of frequencies of the combined signal and a device which measures the power thereof. On the basis of this information and an appropriate calculation strategy tending to minimize the BER of the equipment, a microprocessor generates signals for gain control of the stage RF of the receivers and for phase shift control for a phase shifter for the local oscillator signal sent to one of the receivers. The calculation strategy consists of minimizing a polynomial function of the power and dispersion values. Dependence of the BER on the f.sub.notch characterizing the dispersion is eliminated, normalizing dispersion in relation to f.sub.notch.
