Abstract
In a spectrum spread receiver, a tracking unit tracks successive regions covering maximum correlation values, respectively, in spectrum spread demodulated components to produce a timing signal indicative of synchronous points respectively in the regions. Responsive to the timing signal, a differential demodulator unit demodulates the spectrum spread demodulated components at each synchronous point and at a time which is always one symbol period later than this synchronous point. Differential demodulation is carried out in this manner so as to be faithfully inverse relative to differential modulation in a spectrum spread transmitter.
