Signal acquisition system for spread spectrum receiver
First Claim
1. A device for detecting a demodulated signal received by a spread spectrum receiver and converted into a demodulated digital sample signal, the device comprising:
- a matched filter for calculating a correlation between an incoming signal and at least one reference signal;
an oscillator for generating a sampling frequency;
a sampling circuit for re-sampling said demodulated digital sample signal at said sampling frequency, which is such that the timing of samples of a sample signal going from the sampling circuit to the matched filter corresponds to the timing of the at least one reference signals of the matched filter; and
a multiplier in which the sample signal is multiplied by a carrier replica generated locally before the sampling circuit or thereafter, to remove the carrier from the sample signal.

Abstract
A device for detecting a demodulated signal received by a spread spectrum receiver and converted into digital samples. The device is characterized by a matched filter for calculating the correlation between an incoming signal and at least one reference signal, an oscillator for generating a sampling frequency, and a sampling circuit for re-sampling the demodulated digital sample signal at the sampling frequency, which is such that the timing of samples of the references signals of the matched filter corresponds to the timing of a sample signal going from the sampling circuit to the matched filter. The device also includes a multiplier in which the sample signal is multiplied by a carrier replica generated locally before the sampling circuit or thereafter, to remove the carrier from the sample signal.
