Abstract

A spread spectrum radio communication system includes a generator for generating a pseudo-random chipping sequence, a frequency spreader for combining digital data with the pseudo-random chipping sequence to produce a spread spectrum signal, a modulator for modulating the spread spectrum signal for broadcasting over a predefined frequency band, a demodulator for demodulating broadcast spread spectrum signals, a de-spreader that employs single bit quantization and oversampling for digitally correlating the output of the demodulator means with a pseudo-random chipping sequence, and an extractor for extracting clock and data signals from the output of the de-spreader. The chipping sequence is normally selected from a set of codes including an eleven-bit Barker code, its inverse and reversals of the inverse and non-inverse code.
