Abstract
A CDMA receiver capable of effective orthogonalization even when the number of received signal vectors to be orthogonalized is very large. Received signals which have been spread by spreading codes are despread by despreading filters. Products of received signal levels and cross-correlations between the spreading codes are compared in a preliminary selector of the cross-correlations, and Ns products are selected in order of magnitude, where Ns is a predetermined integer. Ns received signals associated with the selected products have priority to undergo orthogonalization. The number of signals to be orthogonalized by decorrelators can be effectively decreased, and noise enhancement effect can be reduced on the reverse channels. The orthogonalized received signals are recovered through channel estimators, phase compensators, RAKE combiners and decision blocks.
