Abstract

Receiver systems and methods are provided for processing transmit signals Str that are received over a receive channel Crcv which is formed by a plurality of receive paths. Method embodiments comprise the steps of a) receiving the transmit signals Str with a plurality of spatially separated antennas to form respective receive signals Srcv, and b) spatially and temporally processing the receive signals Srcv to form a combined corrected signal Scrctthat reduces errors in at least one signal parameter. Exemplary signal parameters include signal preambles, codes, spreading codes and modulations.
