MINIMIZING ESTIMATION TIME FOR RAKE FINGERS WITH HELP OF A SPEED SENSOR

摘要

An electronic equipment (10) includes a RAKE receiver (82a) that includes at least one finger having a settable delay, a transducer (70) operable to provide a signal indicative of motion of the electronic equipment (10), and a delay estimator circuit (24) operative to calculate a duration between fading nulls of a received signal based on the motion signal of the electronic equipment (10). The time delay of the at least one finger is set based on the duration between fading nulls.
