12-chip coded spread spectrum modulation for direct conversion radio architecture in a digital cordless telephone
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cordless direct sequence spread spectrum telephone comprising:
- means for digitizing an analog voice signal to provide a digital voice signal;
means for generating an even spreading code having at least 10 chips wherein the number of 1'"'"'s in the code sequence exactly equals the number of 0'"'"'s in the code sequence;
means for directly sequencing the digital voice signal with the even spreading code to generate a digital spread spectrum data signal that does not contain any information at or near DC;
high pass filter means for filtering the digital spread spectrum data signal to remove noise components that are nonetheless located at or near DC and to produce a filtered spread spectrum data signal;
means for generating a spread spectrum transmission signal by phase shifting an RF carrier with the filtered spread spectrum data signal;
means for transmitting the spread spectrum transmission signal;
means for receiving the spread spectrum transmission signal; and
means for directly converting the spread spectrum transmission signal to an analog baseband signal without requiring DC offset compensation, no low frequency or DC components being formed in the analog baseband signal through the direct conversion process due to the even spreading code.

Abstract
A cordless direct sequence spread spectrum telephone using a direct conversion radio architecture wherein the code sequence used for spreading and despreading is an even code sequence to prevent addition of low frequency noise in the down-conversion process, the preferred even code being a 12-chip code and, more particularly, being an even 12-chip code that is generated by adding one bit to an inverted, shifted, and/or reversed 11-chip Barker sequence.
