PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch diversity combiner which concerns an antenna diversity receiver suitable for a multicarrier system, and whose performance in a high delay spread environment has been improved.;SOLUTION: A diversity switch combiner for use in systems for receiving multicarrier wideband signals is constituted to determine, during a guard interval, which antenna provides the strongest carrier, for each of a plurality carrier frequencies. A switch is then operated to select, for the subsequent symbol, that antenna which provides the greatest number of strongest carriers.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
