Abstract
A CDMA communication system using a spreading code has a plurality of mobile stations and at least one base station. The mobile stations and the base station are provided with respective receiving sections, each of which has a path diversity function for reducing multipath fading. The base station includes an array antenna having a plurality of integrated antenna elements spaced by a distance substantially equal to one to several wavelengths from each other so as to produce a space diversity effect. A plurality of delay devices are coupled with the respective antenna elements, for applying time delays to signals which pass through the respective antenna elements. The time delay are different from each other by a one symbol period of the spreading code or more.
