A method of, and receiver for, recovering data bits from a spread spectrum signal, in which a digitally sampled chip sequence is derived from a received spread spectrum signal, a matched filter (34) filters the digitally sampled chip sequence in a matched filter, a circuit (36) obtains a running average of the output from the matched filter over successive bit periods, and means are provided for noting, in successive bit periods, which of the matched filter output samples corresponds to the maximum value in the running average and determines the sign of the sample in a stage of the matched filter synchronised with the maximum value and assigns a data bit value in accordance with the sign.More particularly the running average is determined in accordance with the equation:where Xin is the absolute value of the ith matched filter output sample in the n th databit period, Xin-1 is the corresponding ith sample running average at the end of the n-1 th databit period, andalpha is the averaging gain and has a value between 0<=alpha<=1.
