Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring method and a receiver. An array antenna is used for measuring the spatial colour of received interference. Using the spatial colour measurement result, an interference detector (217) controls a method to be used for combining the signals received by the different antenna elements (200–202). Monitoring devices (219) are used, in turn, for monitoring the spatial colour of the interference and for taking into account the result of the colour measurement for enhancing the operation of a radio system.
