ANTENNA DIVERSITY RECEIVER
First Claim
1. An antenna diversity receiver comprising:
- a plurality of antennas;
an antenna selector unit selecting one of the antennas;
an RF module unit converting an RF receive (RX) signal received from the antenna selector unit into a baseband RX signal;
a logic gate unit controlling a power detection mode for detecting the power levels of RX signals received through the antennas and an operation mode for selecting one of the antennas on the basis of the detected power;
a power detector unit detecting the power level of the RX signal received through each of the antennas, on the basis of the RX signal received through the RF module unit, under the control of the logic gate unit; and
a selection controller unit controlling the antenna selector unit to sequentially select the antennas in the power detection mode and controlling the antenna selector unit to select the antenna with a relatively good RX sensitivity among the antennas in the operation mode on the basis of the power levels detected by the power detector unit, under the control of the logic gate unit.

Abstract
An antenna diversity receiver includes a plurality of antennas, an antenna selector unit, an RF module unit, a logic gate unit, a power detector unit, and a selection controller unit. The antenna selector unit selects one of the antennas. The RF module unit converts an RF RX signal received from the antenna selector unit into a baseband RX signal. The logic gate unit controls a power detection mode for detecting the power levels of RX signals and an operation mode for selecting one of the antennas. The power detector unit detects the power level of the RX signal. The selection controller unit controls the antenna selector unit to sequentially select the antennas in the power detection mode, and controls the antenna selector unit to select the antenna with a relatively good RX sensitivity among the antennas.
