Abstract:

Can not be accurately estimatedand existed in signal carriers of different paths, the Phase 

difference leads to significant drop of power utilization rate of multi-path signals received by conventional 

RAKE receiver (CLRAKE). A new RAKE receiver (CORAKE) that can separate multi-path signals in 

carriers of different paths and implement carrier coherent demodulation is proposed. When received by 

CORAKE, signal of each path is coherently demodulated. Phase difference between the local carrier and 

carriers of corresponding received signals is zero, so that the defect of receiving due to the phase difference

 among carries can be removed. Simulation shows that the CORAKE obtains better receiving signal

to noise ratio (SNR) gain.
