Abstract

Apparatus for and method of processing received signals for use with multiple antenna spatial diversity receivers used in a digital communications system. The receiver has received signal phase modulator apparatus for each diversity received signal. The phase modulator provides a two state phase perturbation of zero or pi radians, based on the carrier frequency, which is switched to modulate the phase of the received signal for a fifty percent duty cycle over a symbol period.
