Abstract

Spread spectrum receiver includes a delay locked loop (DLL) circuit for holding the synchronization of a despread signal with a received spread spectrum signal. The DLL circuit comprises a subtracter for generating a signal representative of a subtraction between first and second correlation signals, a positive feedback amplifier for amplifying the subtraction representative signal and a window comparator for producing a lock signal when the subtraction representative signal is positioned within a window width.
