A fast Walsh transform (FWT) demodulator and a method are provided. The FWT demodulator includes a FWT correlator for receiving and transforming a first information based on a FWT method to output third information; power approximation devices (PAD) for receiving and calculating one of the third information to output an approximating power value respectively. Wherein, the approximating power values are divided into subgroups. A first unit of comparators selects subgroup-max-values from each subgroup. A plurality of power calculation devices (PCD) are for receiving and calculating one of the subgroup-max-value to output a precise power value respectively. A second unit of comparators is for selecting max power value from each precise power value to output a second information. By applying "PAD" to replace "PCD" into "pre-selection" subgroups with "max-and-zero" property, the invention can reduce the implementation cost without performance degradation.
