Method and system for implementing a single weight (SW) single channel (SC) MIMO system with no insertion loss
First Claim
1. A method for processing signals in a receiver, the method comprising:
- generating at least one control signal that is utilized to control at least one of a plurality of received signals; and
adjusting a phase of a first of said plurality of received signals outside of a first processing path that is utilized to process said first of said plurality of received signals so that it is equivalent to a phase of at least a second of said plurality of received signals, wherein a gain in said first processing path is equivalent to a gain in a second processing path that is utilized to process said second of said plurality of received signals.

Abstract
In a RF communications system, aspects for implementing a single weight single channel MIMO system with no insertion loss may comprise generating at least one control signal that is utilized to control at least one of a plurality of received signals in a WCDMA and/or HSDPA system. A phase of a first of the plurality of received signals may be adjusted outside of a first processing path used to process that signal so that it is equivalent to a phase of at least a second of the plurality of received signals. A gain in the first processing path may be equivalent to a gain in a second processing path that is utilized to process the second of the plurality of received signals. The control signal may be utilized to adjust a phase and/or an amplitude of at least one of a plurality of received signals.
