Disclosed is a rake receiver in a mobile communication system and a control method therefor which receives signals transmitted from a base transceiver subsystem through multiple paths. The rake receiver comprises a plurality of fingers for independently demodulating multipath signals when a signal is received through multiple paths; a searcher for checking intensity levels of received signals, detecting valid paths through which signals having intensity levels above a predetermined level are received, and outputting information about the valid paths; and a controller for selecting and enabling fingers corresponding to the valid paths and transmitting signals received through corresponding paths to the enabled fingers in accordance with the information about the valid paths output from the searcher, and if information about at least one new valid path is received from the searcher, selecting and enabling fingers corresponding to the new valid paths and simultaneously providing position information. |
