% Number of antennas

% Number of samples

% Channel gains (complex numbers)

h1 = (randn(1, numSamples) + 1i * randn(1, numSamples)) / sqrt(2);
h2 = (randn(1, numSamples) + 1i * randn(1, numSamples)) / sqrt(2);

% Received signals (assuming a transmitted signal of 1 for simplicity)

x = ones(1, numSamples);

% Generate complex Gaussian noise

noise = (randn(numAntennas, numSamples) + 1i * randn(numAntennas, numSamples))
/ sqrt(2);

% Received signals at each antenna

y1 = h1 .* x + noise(1, :);

% Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) weights

w1 = conj(h1);
w2 = conj(h2);

% Combined signal using MRC

y_mrc = w1 .* y1 + w2 .* y2;
