Abstract

See full text

A plurality of transmitters synchronized to a common clock each transmit a data signal spread by a common bipolar pseudo-random code having a different predetermined assigned code sequence shift. A receiver, synchronized to the clock, discriminates the signal transmitted by a predetermined transmitter from signals transmitted by the others by generating a first bipolar pseudo-random code that is a replica of the common bipolar pseudo-radom code and has a code sequence shift corresponding to that of the predetermined transmitter, and a second bipolar pseudo-random code and has an unassigned code sequence shift. The difference between the first and second bipolar pseudo-random code sequences, which is a trinary code sequence, is cross-correlated with the incoming signals. The cross-correlation despreads only the signal applied by the sequence having the predetermined code sequence shift. Each receiver includes a number of correlation detectors offset from each other by a fraction of a code chip together with decision circuitry to identify cross-correlation peaks for optimum synchronization.
