  • Proportional diversity radio receiver system
    Patent number: 6236844
    Abstract: A proportional diversity radio system for mobile vehicles combats both short time delay multipath and long time delay multipath by mixing separate tuner signals obtained using separate space diversity antennas. The relative contribution of each tuner signal to a final mixed tuner output is determined in direct relation to their respective signal strength signals and inverse relation to their respective long time delay multipath noise signals.

  • Diversity radio system with RDS
    Patent number: 6141536
    Abstract: An RDS receiver having dual tuners and dual antennas operates in two distinct modes, a diversity mode and a non-diversity mode. Diversity mode is when both tuners are tuned to a signal with the same program audio content and the audio from both tuners is blended together in a manner to minimize the effects of multipath distortion. In non-diversity mode, a forcing circuit isolates the tuner output signals so that one tuner provides the audio output while the other can be retuned to any other frequency for purposes of gathering RDS data.
