Abstract

A code multiplexing wireless apparatus for amplifying a code-multiplexed signal and then transmitting the amplified signal includes the following to reduce output back-off, improve the efficiency of a power amplifier and suppress broadening of the frequency spectrum: (1) a code-multiplexed signal generator for multiplying each item of transmission data by a spreading code sequence and combining spread-spectrum modulated signals to generate a code-multiplexed signal, (2) a signal-peak suppressing unit for holding the envelope of the code-multiplexed signal below a set level, and (3) a power amplifier for amplifying the code-multiplexed signal and transmitting the amplified code-multiplexed signal from an antenna.
