  • Apparatus and method for diversity antenna selection
    Patent number: 11848738
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for diversity antenna selection and include receiving a first portion of a signal using a first antenna during a first time period and using a second antenna during a second time period, determining a first difference value for the first portion received by the first antenna, the first value being a difference between a signal level for the first portion received by the first antenna and a threshold signal level associated with the first antenna, and determining a second difference value for the first portion received by the second antenna, the second value being a difference between a signal level for the first portion received by the second antenna and a threshold signal level associated with the second antenna. The method and apparatus include receiving a second portion of the signal using the first antenna if the first difference value is greater than the second difference value.
