A parallel decoder for decoding a code division multiplexed (CDM) signal. The parallel decoder has two matched filters, both operating at a frequency equal to half the chip rate of the CDM signal. One matched filter correlates odd-numbered chips of the CDM signal with odd-numbered chips of the spreading code. The other matched filter correlates even-numbered chips of the CDM signal with even-numbered chips of the spreading code. The two resulting correlated signals are combined, and the decoded signal is obtained from the combined signal. This arrangement doubles the maximum possible chip rate of the CDM signal. |
