Abstract
An antenna-switching diversity receiver is capable of switching antennas without bringing about deterioration of reception characteristics even when applied to the CDMA communication method. A TFCI bit decoding/determination unit decodes TFCI bits that have been extracted by a TFCI bit extractor and determines the presence or absence of communication control data based on the TFCI bits that have been decoded. An antenna switching control unit uses a timer to check for the presence or absence of communication control data in each of fixed time intervals based on the determination results of the TFCI bit decoding/determination unit and then controls the antenna switch in intervals that lack communication control data to measure the reception level of the common pilot channel at the other antenna that differs from the antenna that is currently receiving and then select the antenna having the higher reception level.
