Abstract
A system for enhancing signal reception comprises delay devices coupled to a combiner. The delay devices are adapted to delay respective input signals by corresponding offset delay durations to produce time-staggered delayed signals with respect to one another. The combiner is coupled to the delay devices for combining the delayed signals to form a combined signal. A recorder receives the combined signal for recording the combined signal in the time-domain. The recorder records the combined signal in successive measurement cycles. Each successive measurement cycle contains a time window corresponding to each of the delayed signals. An evaluator evaluates the recorded signal for determining average power, within each time window, over a group of the successive measurement cycles for each of the delayed signals to prepare for determining cross-correlation between pairs of the delayed signals.
