Abstract

Disclosed is a multiple-signal receiver system for direct sequence, code division multiple access (CDMA), spread spectrum (SS) signals. The receiver is structured to overcome inter-signal interference during signal acquisition and data reception even when the ratio of received signal powers exceeds the bandwidth spreading ratio of the signals. The receiver contains one processing channel for each signal in which correlation with the spread spectrum code of its particular signal is used to selectively isolate that signal so that its waveform parameters can be estimated, its data demodulated, and its waveform reconstructed. Each reconstructed CDMA waveform is individually adjusted in amplitude and phase to cancel its particular CDMA signal from the composite input of multiple CDMA signals. This receiver structure allows cancellation at the input of each receiver signal processing channel of all CDMA signals except the particular desired signal for that channel.
