Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a baseband signal combiner and to a sampler typically used in radio relay systems and also in generic communication systems. In order to avoid temporary failures in the free space links, space and/or frequency diversity techniques are used, which consist in the use of two suitably spaced receive antennas or of two transmission frequencies. By suitably combining the signals thus received, the failures in radio links can be redued. The invention provides the use of a particular algorithm of the type CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) which, being independent of the combined signal phase, does not interact with the carrier recovery circuits. Moreover, by also applying the same algorithm to the sampler, the cooperation of the two circuits for the optimization of the output signal is obtained.
