1. For use in a RF communication system having a first terminal and a second terminal for communicating data therebetween, such communication being subject to substantial multipath interference caused by the reception of multiple signals having differential path delays exceeding a substantial fraction of the data symbol duration, at least a first terminal, comprising:

  • a plurality of directional antennas for providing relatively narrow beam antenna sectors;

    receiver means, coupled to said plurality of directional antennas, for receiving RF signals via each of said plurality of directional antennas; and

    selection means, coupled to said receiver means, for selecting a communication path between the second terminal and one of said plurality of directional antennas, based at least partly on received RF signal integrity, so as to overcome reception errors caused by multipath interference.
