ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for receiving spread spectrum signals, and, further, for decoding phase encoded information from such signals, requires correlation of input signals into real and imaginary components and determination of the phase angles of the received signal. A transmitter can divide an input signal into a plurality of data streams, independently modulate these streams, and then superpose the plurality of resultants for transmission. A receiver can receive the superposed signal and separate it into real and imaginary parts. In one embodiment, the receiver uses a plurality of spread spectrum codes to generate a plurality of real correlation signals and a plurality of imaginary correlation signals. A transmitter may also generate a differentially phase encoded signal. Phase encoding of a signal generally involves the imposition of known phase changes in the transmitted signal at selected intervals. Decoding of the phase changes at the receiver allows recognition of the phase encoded information. Differential phase encoding, specifically, involves the imposition of a selected phase upon the signal to be transmitted, giving consideration to a prior phase of the signal. In other embodiments, a receiver uses the generated real and imaginary correlation signals to determine a sector of a phase angle of a received signal. This sector can be compared with a previously generated sector, the resultant being an indication of the differential phase encoding performed at the transmitter.
