Abstract
A technique for demodulating CPM spread spectrum signals and variations thereof. A receiver receives a CPM spread spectrum signal, splits it into two signals, demodulates the signals (either coherently or non-coherently) and simultaneously attempts to correlate for a plurality of chip sequences (e.g., I and Q or even and odd), ultimately combining the results into a unified correlation signal. A plurality of A/D converters quantize the demodulated signals into multi-bit digital signals prior to correlation, and multi-bit correlators operate on the multi-bit digital signals to produce correlation signals that are combined to form a unified correlation signal for detection.
