Abstract
A wireless communication system, wherein a sub-set of radio frequency signals received from corresponding antenna elements is selected and combined into a single radio frequency signal, the single radio frequency signal being processed and demodulated in a single processing chain, includes a radio frequency phasing network for co-phasing the selected radio frequency signals before combining and a processor for controlling combining and phasing in order to obtain a single radio frequency signal having a radio performance indicator which satisfies predetermined conditions.
