Abstract:
A mobile terminal, comprising:a code generator which generates a spreading code for use in a despreading operation; a despreading unit which receives as inputs thereto a received signal as an object of the despreading and the spreading code generated by the code generator and conducting a plurality of despreading for the received signal for a plurality of timing in a concurrent fashion; an extracting circuit which extracts highly reliable ones from a plurality of correlation values outputted from the despreading unit; a representative value determining circuit which calculates a path location representative value using path locations of correlation values corresponding to at least two paths in the plurality of extracted correlation values; a control circuit which controls code generation timing of the code generator according to the path location representative value determined by the representative value determining circuit; and a demodulating unit which combines with each other the correlation values extracted by the extracting circuit and thereby demodulating data.
