Abstract
A system and method of switching from a first receiver receiving a constant bit rate signal to a second receiver receiving the constant bit rate signal, where the constant bit rate signal received by the first and second receivers is converted to a first baseband signal and a second baseband signal comprising estimating a signal quality metric of the first baseband signal, comparing the signal quality metric to a predetermined threshold, and switching from the first baseband signal to the second baseband signal if the signal quality metric is greater than the threshold.
