A CDMA reception apparatus (10) for receiving a signal of the CDMA method and capable of uniformly improving reception characteristic in various propagation environments including a city region and a suburb region. The CDMA reception apparatus (10) receiving a signal of the CDMA method as a reception signal (a) includes reception timing detecting means (12) for detecting a reception timing (b) despreading the reception signal and detecting means (11) for performing detection by despreading the reception signal according to the reception timing detected by the reception timing detecting means. The reception timing detecting means (12) has a same path deletion unit (35) which invalidates in each protection path a particular protection path forming a side lobe of another protection path according to a path timing (i) and a path level (k) of each of the paths currently present and extracts paths other than the invalid paths as valid paths. The reception timing of each of the valid paths is output as the reception timing (b) despreading the reception signal for the detecting means. <IMAGE> |
