ABSTRACT:
Whitening (i.e., electromagnetic whitening) of a spread spectrum code is achieved, according to principles of the invention, by permuting the code used for spreading of a signal spectrum. Whitening herein means to process the code such that the signal produced while using the code has roughly uniformly distributed power across the entire electromagnetic spectrum of the transmitted signal. In one exemplary embodiment, a base set of codes derived from Walsh matrices is used. The order of chips in each code in the matrix is randomly permuted (using the same permutation for each code) to form a random sequence of chips, which are used to spread information signals. That is the columns of the Walsh matrix are permuted differently each time the codes in the matrix are used for transmission. Because codes derived from Walsh sequences are orthogonal to one another two spread signals using different codes from that Walsh code set but having the same center frequency may transmit without essentially interfering with one another.
