PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a RAKE reception method by which an excellent reception characteristic can be obtained under any communication environment. SOLUTION: A flip-flop 51(1) stores information denoting timing when a maximum correlation power appears, and flip-flop circuits 51(2)-51(15) sequentially store information denoting timing when 2nd-15th largest correlation power appears. The information stored in the flip-flop 51(1) is outputted as timing information corresponding to a 1st valid path. A mask circuit 52 sets a mask range depending on the communication environment. The information stored in the earliest stage of the flip-flop circuits 51(2)-51(15) is acquired as information corresponding to the timing placed at the outside of the mask range. The acquired information is outputted as timing information corresponding to the 2nd valid path. |
