A receiver is disclosed for decoding spread-spectrum coded signals received through a multi-path propagation channel to obtain decided information symbols. The receiver includes a correlator for correlating the numerical signal samples with a despreading code over information symbol periods to obtain complex correlations for different time-alignments, each time-alignment corresponding to a different one of multiple propagation paths. The receiver hypothesizes data symbol sequences, and forms channel estimates for each of the multiple propagation paths as a function of the complex correlations and the hypothesized symbol sequences and selects the most likely of the hypothesized sequences to decode the information symbols.
