Abstract

A spread spectrum receiver with filters matched to transmitter chip codes are implemented in digital circuits along with a digital circuit for acquisition and tracking of the arrival times of the chip codes. The digital circuit implementations are used for the noncoherent demodulation of pulse position spread spectrum modulation signals where the pulse is a carrier modulator by a chip code and for the noncoherent demodulation of multiple chip code modulation signals where each information symbol is represented by one of several chip codes modulating a carrier.
