In Reply to: AFAIK rejecting multi-path is a phase issue so capture ratio isn't much of a help posted by Timbo in Oz on December 29, 2011 at 01:42:28:
Because it supposedly doesn't apply in your situation does not mean that "capture ratio" is irrelevant to multipath rejection. If the reflected signal is weaker, which is most often the case, "capture ratio" is definitely a factor in minimizing the effects of multipath.
"Certain FM tuners perform better under severe multipath conditions. The relevant tuner specification is "capture ratio". A fortunate characteristic of FM technology is its ability to ignore a weak station arriving at the tuner on the same channel as a strong station. The stronger station is said to "capture" the tuner. A lower capture ratio usually results in better immunity to multipath problems. A very low capture ratio implies that the weaker station could be almost as strong, yet be completely rejected by the tuner........"
