| Abstract: This paper presents a modification of the Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) technique used in antenna diversity systems. The modified scheme requires only one RF down conversion chain and one matched filter for the whole system and therefore provides significant complexity reduction. The bandpass equivalent of the conventional baseband MRC scheme is derived first, and a modification is proposed to attain a practical implementation. Simulation results for different modulation schemes verify the validity of the proposed model and show no loss of performance with respect to the derived bandpass scheme. | ||||
