Abstract

A CDMA receiver (500) minimizes the use of hardware by taking advantage of the fact that Walsh sequences of a predetermined length (e.g., 16) are comprised of inverted and non-inverted versions of smaller length (e.g., 4) sequences. The receiver (500) performs the necessary uncovering operations for example of a Walsh sequence of length 16 by performing uncovering operations using smaller length Walsh sequences such as of length 4 and then performing subsequent summing operations with inverted and non-inverted versions of the results of such uncovering operations.
