            Abstract : 
A blind MMSE multipath combining method for a RAKE receiver is proposed. The method make use of the data before and after the onset of the desired user´s transmission. By performing generalized eigendecomposition of the autocorrelation matrices of the post-RAKE signals in the two interval, an MMSE combiner for the desired user signal can be obtained without the need of the channel state information. The method does not require a precise model nor assume whiteness of the interference. An adaptive algorithm is also developed.
