A multipath searching device includes a radio front-end for converting a
received radio signal into a baseband signal and for outputting the
baseband signal. A profile calculating unit is included for calculating
and outputting the multipath profile of the baseband signal. A first
detector determines whether or not the radio signal traveled along a
multipath is having a short-delay path by comparing the peak value of the
multipath profile with a profile value of a predetermined position time
interval before or after the peak of the multipath profile. A path
selector receives the multipath profile and the detection result of the
first detector, generates time delay information for each path, and
separates many paths along which the radio signal traveled. A receiving
unit receives the time delay information of the paths, despreads the
baseband signal, and combines despread signals.
