1. A method for excising narrow band interferers in a spread spectrum signal communication, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving said spread spectrum signal;
(b) digitizing said spread spectrum signal;
(c) transforming, in real time, said digitized signal from a time domain to a frequency domain, with said digitized signal having a magnitude;
(d) discarding, in real time, said magnitude of said digitized frequency domain signal and replacing it with a normalized value; and
(e) transforming, in real time, said normalized signal back to said time domain.
