Abstract

In a mobile communication system, the tracking of synchronization is conducted in a stable state even in a multipath environment. A delay profile detector calculates a delay profile a(n) using a despread signal for each processing unit n. A delay profile averaging unit averages a(n) to produce Ave(|a(n)|2). A data symbol detector conducts rake combining of the despread signal using a(n) and Ave(|a(n)|2). According to a(n) and Ave(|a(n)|2, a weighting function unit calculates a representative value representing delay waves. A loop filter generates a control signal in response to the representative value. A clock controller controls a spread code generator according to the control signal.
