Abstract

A signal processing circuit provided with a frequency conversion circuit for converting a spread quadrature modulation signal of a carrier band into a baseband signal, a first correlator, a second correlator, a third correlator, a fourth correlator spreading code, a decoding circuit for decoding data from outputs of the first to fourth correlators, a first multiplier for calculating the square of the output of the first correlator, a second multiplier for calculating the square of the output of the second correlator, a first adder for adding up outputs of the first and second multipliers, a judgment circuit for performing a synchronization acquisition judgement, a second adder for adding up the outputs of the first and second correlators, or those of the first and fourth correlators, a subtracter for performing a subtraction between the outputs of the second and third correlators and a correction circuit for obtaining a frequency offset according to an output of the second adder and/or that of the subtracter and performing a correction when decoding the data.
