Abstract
A spread spectrum transmitter and receiver are provided wherein data can be accurately decoded by removing the effect of mutual interference of the quadrature component and in-phase component even when there is carrier frequency error. In a method of spread spectrum communication using a QPSK modulation system, there are provided: a demodulating circuit that receives and demodulates a signal transmitted with a prescribed time difference Td applied between the IQ components; correlators that find the mutual correlation of the IQ components and spreading code; a sampling circuit that samples their output signals; a phase calculator that calculates the phase from the ratio of the IQ components of these output signals; a differential decoding circuit that performs differential decoding on this output signal; an automatic frequency control circuit that corrects the frequency error of this output signal; a decoding circuit; and a clock recovery circuit.
