A circuit and process for generating spread signals using orthogonal codes in a DS-CDMA mobile communication system. The process and circuit contemplate the use of a zero-crossing detector for detecting an I-channel signal and a Q-channel signal to generate a zero-crossing detection signal, a delay for phase-delaying the Q-channel signal by 90°, and a multiplexer for outputting one of the Q-channel signal and the phase-delayed signal according to the zero-crossing detection signal. The multiplexer outputs the Q-channel signal to maintain an orthogonality between the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal, when the zero-crossing is not detected. When the zero-crossing is detected however, the multiplexer phase-delays the Q-channel signal by 90° and outputs the phase-delayed Q-channel signal to maintain a ½ chip offset. Therefore, the device can minimize phase errors, maintaining an orthogonality between the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal.
