An apparatus and method of receiving multi-path signals in a direct
sequence Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile communication system
is disclosed. Timing control signals from respective fingers are
collected, and relations among positions of time delays where the
respective fingers intend to perform a demodulation are analyzed. If it
is determined that the time delay position for a specified finger
approaches the time delay position of the finger allocated with an
adjacent multi-path as close as a threshold value, the distance between
the time delay positions is compulsorily kept as the threshold value.
This can be effected by making the timing control signal of the finger
allocated with the adjacent multi-path be equally used in the specified
finger.
