1. A direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) communication device, comprising:

  • a frequency generator that generates a local oscillator signal without use of a piezoelectric crystal;

    a frequency converter that receives the local oscillator signal and mixes the local oscillator signal with a received DSSS signal to produce a down-converted signal, wherein the received DSSS signal is encoded using a first set of DSSS codes;

    a differential detector that receives the down-converted signal and converts the down-converted signal to a differentially detected signal; and

    a correlator that receives the differentially detected signal and correlates the differentially detected signal with a differentially detected set of DSSS codes.
