Abstract :
Work on aerial diversity reception to combat multipath fading is described. A 3-channel adaptive array has been built around a conventional v.h.f.¿a.m. receiver, and been modified to measure signal amplitudes and relative phases. Experimental results show the effects of typical multipath environments, and the improvement obtained with an adaptive array.
