Abstract

In the transferring of a digital data signal from a transmitter to a receiver using the spread spectrum technique, the data signal is modulo-2 added with a PN code sequence, the bit rate of which is very much higher than the bit rate of the data signal. A carrier is then modulated and transmitted with the thereby resulting spread data signal. In the receiver, the modulated carrier is demodulated and the demodulated signal, to obtain the digital data signal, is multiplied with a PN code sequence produced in the receiver, coinciding and synchronized with the PN code sequence of the transmitter. In the transmitter, the carrier is modulated by FSK- or BPSK-modulation with the spread data signal. In addition, modulation is carried out by means of the respectively other of these two modulation types with a synchronizing signal representing the synchronizing information of the the PN code sequence. In the receiver the modulated carrier is demodulated by means of a quadrature demodulator, from the output signal of which then both the spread data signal and also the synchronizing signal can be derived by filtering.
