Abstract
A combiner circuit and method for use in a digital transmitter within a communication system. The combiner circuit receives a number of signal streams that include data frames. Each frame includes an arbitrary data sequence and portions of a unique word. The combiner circuit comprises a plurality of digital preamble circuits which append a predetermined number of contiguous bits from the unique word to each data frame. The system utilizes a plurality of spreaders, shifters, and a summer to further modify the data stream for transmission.
