Abstract
The connection between a plurality of antenna output signals and a plurality of finger units is switched in dependence upon a reception state of each multipath propagation path at each antenna branch to controllably select those finger units to be subjected to RAKE combination. A particular finger unit is excluded from RAKE combination if the reception state does not satisfy a predetermined condition.
