An antenna diversity receiving system is disclosed which includes an antenna
device
with a plurality of FM antennas and a controllable switching circuit for sequentially
switching through one of the plurality of FM antennas via an antenna cable to a
receiver upon reception of a switching control signal. The receiver has a multipath
detector coupled to a pulse generator for generating a pulse signal to be used
as such switching control signal. To secure accurate detection of the switching
control signal, the pulse generator is coupled to a pulse shaper to convert the
pulse signal of the pulse generator into a pulse signal pair. The pulse signal
pair has a first signal pulse followed by a second signal pulse having a signal
polarity opposite to the signal polarity of the first signal pulse. The pulse signal
pair has a waveform varying symmetrically around a reference level and is supplied
through the antenna cable to the antenna device.
