Abstract

A spread spectrum communication device according to the present invention includes a transmitter and a receiver, and suppresses demodulation errors to a minimum value, even if there exit a plurality of narrow band disturbing signals. In the transmitter, a first PN (pseudo noise) code from a fist PN code generator and a second PN code having a delayed phase coming from a shift register are inputted to a multiplexer and switched according to an exclusive logic sum of data and a disturbing signal. The multiplexer output is modulated by a modulator so that it can be transmitted. In the receiver, a correlation output from a correlator is detected by a detector and a detection output thereof is digitalized by a voltage comparator. A correlation pulse thus obtained is applied to two AND gates. Two time window pulses are each applied to two multiplexers nd are switched by a control signal, the outputs of the multiplexers being respectively applied to these AND gates. Pulses from these AND gates are counted by an up-counter and a down-counter in a demodulating circuit to demodulate the data.
