A UW multiplexing circuit multiplexes a fixed pattern over the leading edge of each frame of transmit data. A spreading code generating circuit generates spreading codes TP1 at a timing synchronized with the frame. A spreading circuit spread-modulates data from the UW multiplexing circuit with the spreading codes TP1. A correlation detecting circuit has spread-modulated fixed patterns as multiplication coefficients, and detects correlations between spread-modulated fixed patterns in received data. A despreading code generating circuit supplies, if a fixed pattern is detected, the leading code of despreading codes RP1. A despreading circuit despread-modulates the receive data with the despreading codes RP1. As a result, the spread spectrum communication apparatus according to the invention is capable of setting the code length and the bandwidth expansion factor independent of each other, and thereby enhancing the performance to detect correlated values. |
