Abstract

There is disclosed a spread spectrum wireless communications device capable of conducting a pilot search for a frequency different from the traffic-channel frequency used in a conversation while suppressing deterioration of voice quality. One frame is selected from every 5 frames such that the selected frames are not adjacent to each other. The reception frequency (searched frequency) is switched from frequency f1 used for communication to other frequency f2 during the period of any one of the selected frames. During the periods (e.g., N1-1, N1-2, and N1-3) of plural ones (e.g., 3 frames) of the frames in which f2 is being received, neighboring sets are searched for phases continuously.
