Abstract
A system for wireless communication, particularly for receiving communication signals, said system comprising: A main antenna structure (330), said antenna structure adapted to receive a communication signal (325a) as a first internal signal; and an antenna cable, said antenna cable having a first end operationally coupled to said main antenna structure and a second end, said antenna cable including a main conductor (335) for passing said first internal signal, and a second receiving conductor (340), said second receiving conductor adapted to receive said communication signal as a second internal signal, and wherein said second receiving conductor as a receiving element is spatially separated from the main antenna structure. The disclosed antenna system and apparatus for the extraction of the second, spatially-separated received signal achieves spatial diversity to alleviate multipath effects in wireless communication systems.
