Abstract
A receiver for recovering data from received spread spectrum radio signals includes an equalizer, which mitigates at least some inter-symbol interference present in a sampled base band signal and which conditions the remaining inter-symbol interference such that the radio signals received via at least one propagation path are present in the conditioned remaining signals. The receiver also includes a symbol estimator coupled to the equalizer and configured to estimate the data by de-spreading the spread spectrum radio signals which correspond to the at least one propagation path with a corresponding spreading code. A communications system including the receiver for recovering data and a method of recovering data from spread spectrum signals are also provided.
