    2:1 ratio (related to dB) to lift it above the inherent noise floor of the RF link. In the receiver the signal is expanded in an identical and opposite way in a 1:2 ratio to restore the original signal, at the same time reducing the RF noise to below the noise floor of the receiver.
  • Page 44: Diversity Reception

    The receivers operate on the “true diversity” principle: A receiving antenna receives not only the electromagnetic waves which reach it by a direct path, but also the reflections of these waves which are created in the room by walls, windows, ceilings and fittings. When these waves are superimposed, destructive interference occurs, which can also be called “field strength gaps”.
