Abstract

A diversity receiver includes: a differential detection diversity reception circuit for performing a diversity reception with employment of a differential detection to thereby output hard decision data thereof; a least-squares combining diversity reception circuit for performing a least-squares combining diversity reception to thereby output differentially decoded result of the hard decision data; a selection control circuit for producing a selection control signal used to select one of the hard decision data outputted from the differential detection diversity reception circuit and the differentially decoded result outputted from the least-squares combining diversity reception circuit based upon a predetermined selection basis; and a selection circuit for selecting one of the hard decision data and the differentially decoded result based upon the selection control signal.
