Abstract :
A RAKE receiver with a feedforward channel sounding technique is described. Chip rate sampling is used to reduce the hardware complexity. A novel path-selection technique is employed to track the rapidly changing channel impulse response. The bit error rate performance of this RAKE receiver was evaluated by computer simulation
