A vestigial sideband/quadrature amplitude modulation (VSB/QAM) receiver, which receives both VSB and QAM signals and restores a carrier wave with a restored symbol clock after restoring a symbol timing in a front portion of a carrier wave restoration unit. The receiver has an analog-digital converter for A/D converting in accordance with a frequency higher than a symbol frequency of a received signal; an interpolator for calculating a signal value on the original symbol location after a signal from the A/D converter is applied; the carrier wave restoration unit for restoring a carrier wave by selectively using an automatic frequency control (AFC) and a digital frequency phase locked loop (DFPLL) in accordance with a VSB/QAM mode after a signal from the interpolator is applied; a timing processor for receiving a signal from the carrier wave restoration unit, detecting a timing error after changing a symbol input time in accordance with a VSB/QAM mode, controlling the interpolator based on the detected timing error, and generating a restored clock; and a VSB sorter for extracting a VSB receiving symbol.
