Abstract

A receiver for receiving a signal of a desired user, which signal may arrive at the receiver along several different paths with several different delays, and which receiver has an antenna array consisting of several elements and one or more channel units for demodulating the desired received signal component. Each channel unit searches for the incoming directions and delays of the received signal components, and indicates the parameters of the best components for demodulation. The receiver is connected to the antenna array for analogically phasing the received signal so that the gain from the antenna array is the greatest in the desired beam-like directions.
