    Abstract: Performing an antenna diversity set-up according to the present invention a first mobile terminal (1) transmits a pre-defined antenna calibration signal to a second mobile terminal (15) using its omni-directional antenna (10). During the period of the transmitted signal the best receiving antenna (x) is identified at the second mobile terminal (15) by switching all its directional antennas (21 to 28) and its omni-directional antenna (20) into its receiving path and measuring the received signal quality, e.g. the received signal strength. The directional antenna (x) of the second network device (15) which is identified as best receiving antenna is then used for transmission and reception of data transfer with the first network device (1). Using this antenna, the second network device (15) transmits its pre-defined calibration signal to the first network device (1) which repeats a similar switching and measuring procedure with its directional antennas (11 to 14) and its omni-directional antenna (10) to identify its best receiving antenna (y). These two antennas (x, y) identified at the second network device (15) and the first network device (1) are then used for direct data transfer in-between these both devices. This inventive method is preferably used in direct mode within an IEEE 1394 based HIPERLAN type 2 wireless network.

    Abstract: A DAB stream starts with a so-called null symbol for the receiver synchronization carrying a transmitter identification information, i.e. TII, signal. Each transmitter in the single frequency network is assigned a main id and a sub id for unique identification. This identification is mapped to a certain pattern with 16/8/4/2 set carrier pairs in the spectrum of the null symbol according to the DAB modes I-IV. Based on mode II which has 384 valid carriers a so called comb block is defined. For modes I and IV this block is repeated 4 and 2 times, respectively. For mode III only a half block is available. This pattern is transmitted every 2nd DAB frame in the null symbol.To detect the set carriers the steps of differential demodulation of TII pairs included in the spectrum (S.sub.1 (.omega.)) of every second null symbol of the incoming DAB stream (S1, S2, S3) to respectively obtain a demodulated null symbol, correction of carrier phases of the demodulated null symbol spectrum (S4), determination of a threshold (S7), and decision if a carrier is set or not by comparing the carrier level to the determined threshold (S6) are performed.

    Abstract: A radio transmission signal consisting of signal frames that comprise a dynamic data part and a quasi-static data part according to the present invention is characterized in that the dynamic data part of a respective frame contains an indicator showing in which following frame the quasi-static data part of this respective frame will be repeated. Therewith, an alternative frequency of e.g. a digital shortwave signal like a DRM signal can easily and satisfactorily be checked before a fast seamless switching to this alternative frequency can be performed. The inventive method to perform a seamless switching of a receiver from a first currently tuned frequency to a second alternative frequency is characterized by the step of receiving at least one set of samples from a respective signal transmitted on at least one second frequency during a time period during which said indicator assures that it is secure that only data that has been transmitted at least once is transmitted as signal on said first frequency to gather some information about said alternative frequency.
