1. An optimum combining processor, including:

  • a) a combiner coefficient processor, including;

    i) a fading coefficient estimation module;

    ii) a first interpolation module, coupled to the fading coefficient estimation module;

    iii) an autocorrelation estimation module;

    iv) a second interpolation module, coupled to the autocorrelation estimation module;

    v) an inversion module, coupled to the interpolation module; and

    vi) a combining coefficient evaluation module, coupled to the inversion module and to the first interpolation module; and

    b) at least one optimum combiner, each optimum combiner coupled to the combiner coefficient processor and including;

    i) a plurality of two input multiplication modules, each having an output, the first input of each multiplication module being configured to receive a signal from one of a plurality of fingers of a rake receiver, the second input of each multiplication module being coupled to the combining coefficient evaluation module to receive a combining coefficient; and

    ii) a summing module having a number of inputs equal to the number of two input multiplication modules, each of the inputs being coupled to the output of a corresponding one of the multiplication modules.
