ABSTRACT
RAKE receivers are widely used in the wireless communications
industry. Currently, custom VLSI is the most popular
implementation. Programmable and reconfigurable logic
implementations are becoming more attractive because of their
flexibility and due to technology advancements. We have
implemented a RAKE receiver on an Annapolis Wildforce board
with four Xilinx 4000 family chips for a total of 100,000 gate
