Abstract
A despreading circuit which can reduce a circuit scale and power consumption is described. The circuit includes an A/D converter which converts a CDMA modulated analog signal to a digital signal of N bits, and a searcher which detects a synchronization phase from high-order small bits of the N bits and outputs synchronization phase information to a control circuit. The control circuit transmits a signal for allowing despreading to be performed to a sliding correlator based on the phase information. The sliding correlator despreads the N bit digital signal outputted by the A/D converter and outputs the resulting correlation output as a despreading signal.
