Abstract
A spread spectrum communication system having a modulation unit for modulating and spreading an information signal by one or more of carrier signals and a spread code and transmitting it as a radio wave, and a demodulation unit for despreading and demodulating a received radio wave to pick up the information signal. The modulation unit includes a synthesizing and modulating unit for synthesizing a first primary modulated signal obtained by modulating a first carrier by the information signal and a second primary modulation signal obtained by modulating a second carrier, and a spectrum spreading unit for spreading the synthesized first and second primary modulation signals with a spread code to generate a spread spectrum signal containing first and second spread signal components. The demodulation unit includes a separation unit for separating a received spread spectrum signal into the first and second spread signals, a spread signal reproduction unit for reproducing the spread code on the separated first and second spread signal component, and a despreading unit for despreading the separated first spread signal component and reproduced spread code to reproduce the information signa…
