Abstract

A transmission diversity detection system that detects the presence or absence of a STTD (Space-Time Transmit Diversity) transmission diversity by a simple arithmetic operation. The transmission diversity detection circuit notifies presence or absence of a transmission diversity of spread spectrum communication by modulation of a synchronization channel (SCH). The transmission diversity detection circuit includes arithmetic circuit for calculating a calculated value of C 2n,0 ×S 2n,0 *+C 2n,0 *×S 2n,0 +C 2n,1 *×C 2n,1 , in first and second symbols in a predetermined number of series of slots with respect to a reception signal, taking a primary common pilot channel (CPICH) symbol with respect to the first symbol as C 2n,0 , a SCH symbol with respect to the first symbol as S 2n,0 , and a primary CPICH symbol with respect to the second symbol as C 2n,1 , taking a complex conjugate of the primary CPICH symbol C 2n,0 as C 2n,0 *, a complex conjugate of SCH symbol S 2n,0 as S 2n,0 *, and a complex conjugate of the primary CPICH symbol C 2n,1 as C 2n,1 * and judgment circuit for making judgment whether transmission diversity is present or not depending upon positive or negative of the calculated value.
