A method for processing signals in a multi-antenna CDMA radio
communication system extracts control signals by despreading signals
transmitted to a specific user through the antennas using a spreading
factor, estimating weight values of respective ones of the antennas using
at least one signal separated from the extracted control signals, and
extracting data signals by despreading remaining signals, except for the
control signals, using control information provided from control
channels. The method then multiplies the extracted data signals by the
weight values of the respective antennas, and combines and outputs the
data signals multiplied by the weight values.
