METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECIDING DELAY PROFILE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a delay profile measurement for a spread spectrum receiver using few logic gates and small power consumption. SOLUTION: A memory controller 302 stores signal data, sampled from signals from a plurality of signal branches, to a memory area. A timing control section 304 determines timing data, with respect to each signal branch. A correlator bank 316 determines correlation data, with respect to a plurality of delay values of each signal branch, on the basis of timing data and signal data sequentially as to each signal branch. Furthermore, a delay profile section 100 determines delay profile, on the basis of the correlation data and the delay value, with respect to each signal branch.
