<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lake receiver and a finger managing method improved for providing the merit of path diversity even when the interval of multipath radio waves is shorter than one-chip time. SOLUTION: A lake receiver 112 is provided with plural fingers 122, 124 and 128. Each finger is provided with a demodulator for demodulating the radio waves of multiple path signals and a time tracking circuit for controlling the timewise position of the finger based on the timewise position of the radio wave. Low delay spreading conditions are detected, the positions of two adjacent fingers are controlled and fingers more than two are prevented from being converged around a common timewise position. By maintaining the timing intervals of fingers, even during low delay spreading conditions, the path diversity is effectively utilized by the lake receiver 112 and the performance of the receiver is improved.</p> |
