We present new combined blind equalization and detection schemes for a DS-SS system. The new proposed algorithms improve the bit error rate compared to traditional RAKE receivers in time-variant channels with multipath. This improvement is obtained in both simulated and a real ionospheric HF link. Its very low computational complexity makes them suitable to be implemented in real receivers.
