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.

A shape of a corresponding section is displayed as a user selects an image mode on a projected three-dimensional reference image. Then at least one sample point being the basis of generation of the corresponding multi-planar image is sampled from the shape of the section, upon the user selecting a region in any one form of a straight line, a curve, and a free-formed curve on the shape of the displayed section. At least one sample point is converted to three-dimensional coordinates and the vectors which is perpendicular to the projection plane is multiplied by the inverse matrix of the viewing matrix to generate a three-dimensional multi-planar image sampling direction vector.
