<p>A method and apparatus for adaptively despreading a direct sequence spread spectrum signal. The direct sequence spread spectrum signal is provided to transversal filter (101). The output of filter (101) is despread by despreader (120) to provide a soft symbol determined by symbol estimator (122). The soft symbol is provided to decision circuit (124) which generates an error corrected version of the soft symbol data, referred to as a hard symbol. The value of the hard symbol is subtracted from the soft symbol by subtractor (126) to generate an error symbol. The error symbol is then used to compute tap values of the transversal filter by means of an LMS algorithm employed by tap adapter (103).</p> |
