Receiver Sensitivity of 2Rx-1Tx system - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

How do we calculate the Receiver sensitivity for a system employing 2 receivers and 1 transmitter. Do we have any formula for calculating the sensitivity or SNR improvement analogus to 1RX-1 Tx system.

SNR improvement will depend on the way in which the 2 Rx's are combined - switching diversity, equal gain combining or maximal ratio combining. A good place to start would be the book by Rappaport (Wireless Communications). The book goes through a simple SNR calculation for each of the three cases.
