Abstract
Methods and systems are provided herein for combining antenna signals based at least in part on the physical separation distance between antennas. A computing device includes a first antenna. The first the antenna is configured to receive a first signal. The first antenna is one of a plurality of antennas in the computing device. A second antenna is configured to receive a second signal. The second antenna has more physical separation distance from the first antenna relative to any other antenna within the computing device. A combiner within the computing device is configured to combine the first signal and the second signal based on the second antenna having more physical separation distance from the first antenna relative to any other antenna.
