Abstract
This invention provides a spread spectrum signal demodulator in which a noise component included in respective demodulation symbols is reduced and an effect of interference removal is further improved. Symbol decorrelating means detect correlations between spread codes allocated to spread spectrum signals to be removed and a receiving signal. A symbol deciding means 121 synthesizes one or the plurality of one symbol correlation values b1 to bk in common phase, namely, diversity-synthesizes them so as to decide a symbol. As the symbol decision, hard decision or soft decision can be used. Correlation modification means input the one symbol correlation values b1 to bk output from the symbol decorrelating means and the symbol decided result output from the symbol deciding means 121 thereinto, and modify the symbol correlation values b1 to bk. The modified symbol correlation values d1 to dk are transmitted into interference replicating means so as to be spectrum-spread by corresponding spread codes.
