Patent Images
1. A spread spectrum remote unit comprising:
- means for receiving a combined spread spectrum signal, the spread spectrum signal including a reference signal and a plurality of message signals, the message signals having message data;
means, including a plurality of detector means and synchronization means, for detecting the reference signal within the received combined spread spectrum signal;
means for generating a remote reference signal at the remote unit;
means to synchronize the remote reference signal with the detected refrence signal; and
means for recovering the message data of at least one of the message signals using information from the detected reference signal, said means demodulating each of a plurality of message data signals.

Abstract
A spread spectrum remote unit produces a message signal having message data. A reference signal is produced. The reference signal is used to recover the message data from a combined spread spectrum signal. The reference signal and the message signal is combined as a combined signal. The combined signal is transmitted as the combined spread spectrum signal.
