Abstract

A modem in which the transmitter uses spectrum spreading techniques applied to sequentially supplied input bits, a first group thereof having one spread spectrum sequence characteristic and a second group thereof having a different spread spectrum sequence characteristic, the spread spectrum bits being modulated and transmitted. The receiver generates complex samples of the received modulated signal at a baseband frequency and uses a detector for providing signal samples of the complex samples which are time delayed relative to each other. A selected number of the time delayed samples are de-spread and demodulated and the de-spread and demodulated samples are then combined to form a demodulated receiver output signal.
