Abstract :
Multipath propagation interference in urban mobile communications can be minimised by using spread spectrum modulation and a RAKE filter. The Letter describes the simulation and practical operation of an adaptive or programmable RAKE filter, employing maximal ratio combining, which can handle time varying multipath channels in either the base station or mobile receiver.
