    Abstract: A method and apparatus for variable rate communication incorporating coherent signal processing and combining is described. Within the receive system, vectors of in-phase and quadrature-phase Walsh correlator output values are generated for each Rake finger over each Walsh symbol period. In-phase and quadrature-phase reference values are generated for each of the Rake fingers by combining the in-phase and quadrature-phase correlator outputs of the most likely Walsh symbols over a series of Walsh symbol periods. The output energies are calculated as the sum of squared in-phase and quadrature-phase values. The vectors of in-phase and quadrature-phases values are then projected on the in-phase and quadrature-phase reference values and weighted by the reference amplitude. The reference amplitude is the square root of the sum of squared in-phase and quadrature-phase values. The vectors of projected and weighted values are summed via coherently combining, and the corresponding values from the other Rake fingers used to obtain a resultant vector of coherently demodulated Walsh correlator outputs.
