Abstract

A receiving apparatus for receiving a signal that has been spectrum-spread with a spread code, comprising a searcher for searching paths of signals received from multi-paths, a plurality of fingers for de-spreading the received signals for the searched paths and demodulating data, a combiner for combining output data of the fingers, and a controller for controlling the receiving operation, wherein in a reception state the controller designates control information of the searcher for the next reception state and then keeps a stopped state until the searcher completes an operation corresponding to the control information so as to intermittently receive the signal. Thus, the power consumption of the controller can be decreased.
