Abstract: A power control device for a CDMA communication system using different kinds of spreading codes. In the power control device for a base station device, a first channel generator generates a first channel signal by spreading first input data with an orthogonal code and a second channel generator generates a second channel signal by spreading second input data with a quasi-orthogonal code. The second channel signal has a gain higher than that of the first channel signal. A first gain controller controls power of the first channel signal and a second gain controller controls power of the second channel signal. An adder adds the first channel signal to the second channel signal, and a spreader spreads a signal output from the adder with a pseudo-random noise (PN) code.

In the device, a despreader despreads multiple channel signals including a specific channel with an orthogonal code assigned to the specific channel repeating at least two same second symbols at a given first symbol duration, to generate despread repeated symbols. A difference signal generator receives the despread second symbols, and generates a difference signal between a presently received second symbol and a previously received second symbol. A noise detector converts the difference signal to an energy value to generate a non-orthogonal noise signal.
