The mobile communication channel suffers from severe fading distortion due to multipath phenonmenon. This makes it necessary to adopt anti-multipath techniques in high speed mobile communication systems. On the basis of an overview of typical mobile communication channels
this paper presents survey on anti-multipath techniques in TDMA and CDMA mobile communications systems
with special attention paid to adaptive channel equalization
RAKE receiver and multiuser detection.The recently proposed diversity technique using adaptive array is also addressed.
