Pseudo-noise sequence generating apparatus

摘要

A pseudo-noise generating apparatus capable of starting a pseudo-noise sequence from an arbitrary phase using compact processing circuitry. Tap selection patterns corresponding to a plurality of phase shift amounts are stored in advance in a ROM. By giving a phase shift amount to the ROM and setting the corresponding tap selection pattern in AND gates, the pseudo-noise sequence generated by the pseudo-noise generator is shifted in phase, and is loaded into a shift register. After setting a new phase amount in the ROM, the contents of the shift register are transferred into a shift register in the pseudo-noise generator. By repeating this operation, the desired phase shift is accomplished as a sum of a plurality of phase shift amounts.
