<p>In a spread spectrum communication system for communicating data by spreading spectrum thereof, using PN codes, on the transmitter side, a first modulated output portion, which is spread-spectrum-modulated, containing no data to be transmitted and a second modulated output portion, which is spread-spectrum-modulated, following the first modulated output portion and containing data to be transmitted are generated; and the second modulated output portion is transmitted with a low electric power and the first modulated output portion with a high electric power. On the receiver side, a correlation-demodulated output is generated by correlation-demodulating a received input; and from the correlation-demodulated output consisting of a first correlation-demodulated output portion corresponding to the first modulated output portion and a second correlation-demodulated output portion corresponding to the second modulated output portion the first correlation-demodulated output portion is detected. Further timing signal serving as a reference for an operation on the receiver side is generated, starting from the first correlation-demodulated output portion.</p> |
