A diversity antenna arrangement to reduce cost and the number of switching
operations between different antennas includes an antenna changeover
switch for switching between antennas, and an evaluation circuit for
evaluating reception quality of a signal derived from a signal received
from at least one of the antennas and conveyed to a receiving device via
the antenna changeover switch. The evaluation circuit emits an evaluation
signal based on the determined reception quality. A control device drives
the antenna changeover switch based on the evaluation signal. A weighting
device, using a first coefficient, weights the signal conveyed to the
receiving device via the antenna changeover switch, and using a second
coefficient, weights a signal received from at least one further antenna.
A summing circuit adds the weighted signals. A regulating circuit
generates the coefficients to minimize the temporal amplitude
fluctuations of the composite signal, which is evaluated by the
evaluation circuit.
