A phased array spread spectrum system for maximizing signal strength of a spread-spectrum signal with multipath through the use of a first RF/IF section 21, a second RF/IF section 22, a first digital delay device 27, a second digital delay device 28, a first summer 29, a second summer 30, a despreader 31, a magnitude device 32, a shift register 33, and a comparator 34. The first RF/IF section 21 receives a plurality of spread-spectrum signals and the second RF/IF section 22 receives a plurality of phased versions of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals. The first and second digital delay devices 27, 28 delay the received plurality of spread-spectrum signals with respect to the plurality of phased versions of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals by a plurality of delays. The first and second summers 29, 30 combine the delayed spread-spectrum signals and the plurality of phased versions of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals as a plurality of combined signals. The despreader 31 despreads the plurality of combined signals as a plurality of despread signals. The magnitude device 32 generates a plurality of magnitude values from the plurality of despread signals. The shift register 33 stores a plurality of previous-magnitude values previously generated by the magnitude device 32 and a plurality of present magnitude values presently generated by the magnitude device 32. The comparator 34 compares the previous-magnitude values and the present-magnitude values and, responsive to the comparison, outputs a plurality of comparison signals. The first and second digital delay devices 27, 28 respond to the plurality of comparison signals by lengthening or shortening the plurality of delays. <IMAGE> |
