Pseudorandom noise code acquisition in direct sequence spread spectrum systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An initial code acquisition method, comprising:
- receiving a spread spectrum signal including symbols;
de-spreading the received spread spectrum signal based on code phase synchronization to produce a de-spread signal; and
detecting a modulation format of the received spread spectrum signal based on a change of a time-domain characteristic of the de-spread signal,wherein the change of a time-domain characteristic comprises a magnitude variation in a despread symbol in the de-spread signal.

Abstract
A method for receiving spread spectrum signals and for initial code acquisition from the received signals comprises de-spreading the received signals, based on code phase synchronization, to produce a de-spread signal; and performing a modulation detection based on a change of time-domain characteristic of the de-spread signal.
