CDMA receiver having a controllable search range and method for controlling the same

摘要

In a CDMA receiver used in a CDMA cellular mobile telephone system, a searcher which is used to determine reception timing of a plurality of finger processing portions has a controllable search window to enable wide searching range without any expansion of a size. Specifically, the controllable search window is shifted or delayed so that the reception timing lies therein to decrease the number of the correlators and/or the adders.
