Abstract
Apparatus and a method for generating a digital synthesized Gaussian noise-like waveform that may be used to modulate and demodulate communication data. The present invention uses a seed input that addresses a read only memory look-up table, for example, containing digital samples having Gaussian statistics. A sequence generator generates a pair of pseudo-random sequences in response to the seed input that address the read only memory to look up and output a pair of pseudo-random Gaussian samples that are used to generate the Gaussian noise-like waveform. A processor converts the pair of pseudo-random Gaussian samples into corresponding analog I and Q signals, and a modulator 33 modulates the analog I and Q signals to generate a modulated output signal having the Gaussian noise-like waveform.
