Patent ID: 7372926

Claim:
A radio receiving apparatus comprising: a first antenna and a second antenna; a synchronization processing section that despreads a received signal to obtain a despreading result and generates a delay profile based on the despreading result, and performs path detection based on the delay profile; and a combining section that combines a plurality of signals obtained by despreading said received signal in accordance with a location of the detected path; wherein said synchronization processing section: when a number of simultaneously connected cells has reached a simultaneously connectable number, performs a first processing that performs despreading and delay profile generation for said cells using a first received signal received by said first antenna, and then performs path detection of said first received signal; and when the number of simultaneously connected cells has not reached the simultaneously connectable number, performs said first processing and a second processing that performs despreading and delay profile generation using a second received signal received by said second antenna, and then performs path detection of both said first received signal and said second received signal.
