Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Transmission
DEF

A reception of signals from two different receiving antennas, using whichever signal is the strongest at each instant to offset fading.

OBS

In one arrangement, two identical radiofrequency systems, each with its own antenna, feed a common audio-frequency channel. In another arrangement, a single receiver is changed over from one antenna to the other by electronic switching at a rate fast enough to prevent loss of intelligibility.

Recepción de señales desde dos antenas receptoras diferentes, que usan la señal más fuerte en cada instante para compensar el desvanecimiento.

OBS

Según se convenga, dos sistemas de radiofrecuencia idénticos, cada uno con su propia antena, alimentan un canal de audiofrecuencia común, o bien, un solo receptor se cambia de una antena a otra mediante conmutación electrónica en una proporción lo suficientemente rápida como para impedir la pérdida de inteligibilidad.
