Abstract

A receiver, includes a plurality of antennas to receive radio signals from a plurality of transmission paths, and a plurality of sets of RAKE fingers to generate first signals. Each set of RAKE fingers is coupled to a respective one of the plurality of antennas, and a weighting factor generator generates weighting factors for weighting the first signals, wherein the weighting factor for one of the first signals is generated by using first signals generated by at least two of the plurality of sets of RAKE fingers. Further, at least two of the first signals used to generate the weighting factor are received from the same transmission path.
