Automatic frequency control unit and spectrum spread receiving apparatus

摘要

In the automatic frequency control apparatus, a correlation between a complex spectrum spread signal and a spread code is computed to output a complex correlation signal. A sample clock for sampling the complex spectrum spread signal and a data clock synchronous with a repetitive period of the spread code are generated based on the complex correlation signal. Delay correcting sections correct the delays so that generation timings of the correlation peak values with respect to each parallel transmission signal of each of the complex correlation signals divided to N signals. Latch sections latch the correlation peak value using a data clock and a synthetic frequency error signal generating section for generating a synthetic frequency error signal based on each signal. Frequency offset of the local carrier is corrected based on the synthetic frequency error signal.
