Direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication system

摘要

A clock signal generator produces a basic clock signal. A variable delay device is operative for delaying the basic clock signal by an adjustable interval and thereby converting the basic clock signal into a delay-resultant clock signal. A pseudo-noise code is generated at a timing depending on the delay-resultant clock signal. A spread-spectrum information signal is despread into a non-spread information signal in response to the pseudo-noise code. A correlator detects a correlation between the spread-spectrum information signal and the pseudo-noise code. The adjustable interval provided by the variable delay device is controlled in response to the detected correlation to provide synchronization between the spread-spectrum information signal and the pseudo-noise code.
