The communication period of spread spectrum data is divided into a plurality of portions, and an adjustment period for receiving the spread spectrum data is provided between one data-communication period and another communication period. Thereby, the setting of a receiving end is adjusted in the adjustment period after the spread spectrum data is received in one data-communication period.

Spread-spectrum communication method and apparatus

A receiving apparatus includes a base-band conversion circuit, a synchronizing circuit/code generator and a demodulator. The base-band conversion circuit converts a received signal into a base-band signal. The synchronizing circuit/code generator detects a spread code included in the received signal to generate a plurality of spread codes in synchronization with the spread code included in the received signal. The demodulator uses the plurality of spread codes supplied by the synchronizing circuit/code generator to demodulate the base-band signal.

Spread spectrum receiving apparatus

A multiple communicating apparatus has a multiple communicating unit for communicating data through a plurality of channels and a control circuit for controlling the multiple communicating unit in a manner such that the transmission electric power of each channel is inversely proportional to the number of channels which are used by the multiple communicating unit. The control circuit includes a channel control circuit for controlling the number of channels which are used by the multiple communicating unit in accordance with a transmission speed. The multiple communicating unit includes a diffusion circuit for diffusing parallel data by a plurality of diffusion code series. The multiple communicating unit transmits a multiple number for a preamble period of time provided for the reception side to synchronize the plurality of code series which are used for a code division multiple with the transmission side.

Multi-channel communication

A wireless LAN system is configured using a communication apparatus for a wireless LAN including an antenna unit comprising an antenna, or an antenna and at least a part of a circuit of the system provided as one body, and a support for supporting the antenna unit. In addition, a pedestal for the support configured so that a terminal device for transmission or reception can be disposed thereon.

Communication apparatus for a wireless local area network

A spread spectrum receiving apparatus is constructed by a generator for generating a reference clock, a phase shift circuit for shifting the phase of the reference clock generated by the generator in accordance with a code timing in a reception signal and the reference clock, and a de-spreading circuit for de-spreading the reception signal in accordance with the reference clock whose phase is shifted by the phase shift circuit. The de-spreading circuit generates a code for de-spreading in accordance with the phase shifted reference clock. The phase shift circuit has a calculator for calculating a phase shift amount so as to synchronize the code timing in the reception signal with the code for reception in accordance with a deviation between the code timing in the reception signal and the reference clock.

A spread spectrum reception apparatus generates a local reference code and a timing signal having 1/2 the period of the reference code. Correlation calculation between a received spread spectrum signal and the local reference code is performed. Upon reception of the correlation calculation result, a peak detector detects a correlation peak signal. The rate of a code generation clock is adjusted in accordance with the phase difference between the timing signal and the correlation peak signal to perform de-spread processing of the received signal.
