Abstract

A receiver in a spread-spectrum communication system is adapted to receive a signal which is modulated by a binary code modulated by a binary code or a data, and includes a matched filter which detects a correlation between the received signal and a reference signal modulated by a reference code produced by a code generator. When the received code supplied from the matched filter coincides with or is slightly displaced from the reference code, a pulse is produced from a correlation spike waveform with a relatively large amplitude to extract a desired pulse from the pulse and use it to initialize the reference code generator.
