Abstract
A local area network (10) utilizes a wireless transmission link and has network stations (12) each having two differently polarized antennas (14, 16). Data transmission utilizes a spread spectrum code and in the receiver, correlator outputs are utilized in an integrator and registers circuit (54) to provide correlator output sample values integrated over a plurality of symbol intervals. These values are stored in registers (156) the contents of which are utilized to determine a peak value and a total value which are applied to a spike quality determination circuit (78) including a look-up table (200). The resultant spike quality output value represents the quality of the received signal and is utilized for carrier detection and for antenna selection.
