Abstract
Diversity reception techniques can help to combat fast fading in urban areas, and this paper describes some predetection combining systems designed to be compatible with existing standard receivers. Quantitative results show that a worthwhile improvement in quality of reception can be obtained with small numbers of antennas. There are advantages to be gained if, in future receiving systems, the diversity technique is incorporated directly into the receiver design.
