Abstract
A monitoring station and method for increasing a frequency of wireless packet reception. The monitoring station includes a physical layer (PHY) having a plurality of radio frequency (RF) receivers, processing circuitry comprising a processor, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to control timing offsets of each of the plurality of RF receivers such that each of the plurality of RF receivers has a different timing offset with respect to each other. The monitoring station includes an RF signal router configured to receive an incoming RF signal and route the RF signal to the plurality of RF receivers, and vary at least one of signal gain and signal loss for the incoming RF signal across each of the plurality of RF receivers such that each of the plurality of RF receivers has a different effective noise figure with respect to each other.
