DECISION DIRECTED ANTENNA DIVERSITY IN RADIO FREQUENCY RECEIVERS

A white space sensing method includes receiving a signal on each of multiple antennas in an alternating fashion. The method also includes calculating feature metrics for incumbent signals on a given frequency channel for all antennas (e.g., pilot strength, luminance carrier strength (for NTSC)). The...

Summary:A white space sensing method includes receiving a signal on each of multiple antennas in an alternating fashion. The method also includes calculating feature metrics for incumbent signals on a given frequency channel for all antennas (e.g., pilot strength, luminance carrier strength (for NTSC)). The strongest of the antennas can be selected, based on the calculated feature metrics, for white space sensing.
