Multi-user demodulating apparatus, receiving apparatus and multi-channel demodulating method

摘要

A plurality of fingers 12 separately demodulate reception signals of a plurality of paths transmitted from a plurality of terminals. A first rake combining unit 13a combines a plurality of demodulated signals corresponding to a first transmission terminal from among the signals demodulated by the fingers 12. A second rake combining unit 13b combines a plurality of demodulated signals corresponding to a second transmission terminal from among the signals demodulated by the fingers 12. A change-over switch 16a connects a finger 12-8 from among the fingers 12-1 to 12-32 to either of the first rake combining unit 13a and the second rake combining unit 13b in a switchable manner. Therefore, a plurality of users can use a single finger in a switchable manner.
