Abstract

A method and apparatus for baseband generation of a spread spectrum reference signal for an LMS adaptive array processor is provided. An IF summed, weighted spread spectrum signal is output from the processor and translated to baseband to produce an I (in-phase) channel spread baseband signal and a Q channel (quadrature-phase) spread baseband signal. A baseband correlator receives the I channel and Q channel baseband signals and delayed versions of in-phase and quadrature-phase PN signals and produces despread I channel and Q channel baseband output signals. A baseband linear spreader receives the despread I channel and Q channel baseband output signals and the in-phase and quadrature-phase PN signals and produces respread I channel and Q channel baseband signals. A baseband modulator modulates the respread I channel and Q channel baseband signals with a phase-shifted local oscillator to produce the reference signal. The reference signal is subtracted from the spread spectrum signal to produce an error signal consisting essentially of the undesired signal components in the spread spectrum signal. The adaptive array processor minimizes the mean-square value of the error signal to mi…
