ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for compensating for distortion in a spread spectrum communications system particularly useful where the spread spectrum is transmitted over a power line. The information carrying signal (ICS) is split into two sub-bands and the ICS in one sub-band (or a correlation value determined from the ICS in that sub-band) is delayed relative to the other sub-band. The ICS (or correlation values) from the two sub-bands are recombined after the delay and processed in an ordinary manner. The time delay is selected so as to compensate for the distortion. In one embodiment, the correlation peaks in each of the sub-bands are examined and the time delay is determined by, in effect, aligning the peaks in the two sub-bands in time so that when the two sub-bands are combined, a sharper correlation peak is obtained.
