Abstract: A receiver is disclosed for a DS/CDMA communication system wherein a symbol is spread with a predetermined spread code to produce a DS/CDMA signal which is transmitted on a radio frequency carrier. The receiver includes an interference canceller for cancelling signals from undesired sources introduced to a signal received from a desired source using a feedback signal. A phase variation canceller is provided for cancelling a phase variation that occurs in an interval between successive symbols of the received signal. Both cancellers are connected in series. A decision circuit compares an input signal from the interference canceller or from the phase variation canceller with a threshold and produces an output representing one of two discrete values depending on whether it is higher or lower than the threshold. A correction circuit derives a correction signal from a signal produced by the interference canceller and applies it to the interference canceller as the feedback signal.
