Abstract: An apparatus and method of searching a preamble signal in a search window for reducing a chip size of a preamble searcher in a transceiver of a base station is enclosed. By using a plurality of small window preamble searchers searching the preamble signal in a small search window, which is a division of a large search windows of a conventional preamble searcher divided by search start times, the preamble searcher of the entire search window can be implemented and the size of semiconductor chip is reduced by implementing distributing small preamble searcher in a small semiconductor chips.

Abstract: There is disclosed a finger for effectively processing signals received via multi-path in a receiver of a mobile communication system and a RAKE receiver having the finger. In processing signals received by a plurality of antennas in the present invention, a single finger batch-processes the signals received by the plurality of antennas using the property that the time delays of the received signals are almost same and a time division method. At this time, a single apparatus batch-processes a portion necessary for a common calculation and a plurality apparatus separately process portions necessary for separate calculations. Thus, the present invention can provide a high-performance finger and a RAKE receiver having the finger wherein a single finger can process each of signals received by a plurality of antennas.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for canceling pilot signals from neighbor base stations is disclosed. The present invention cancels unnecessary pilot signals transmitted from the neighbor base stations by detecting, analyzing a PN signal in a pilot signal of each base station, generating estimated interference signal according to analyzed information from the detected PN signal and subtracting estimated interference signal from the received signal. Therefore, the present invention increases a bandwidth of downlink transmission channel and improves the demodulator to be operatable in low signal-to-noise ratio (Eb/No).
