Abstract
Incoming signals in a receiver for Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access systems are despread using Offset-QPSK spreading as the transmitting spreading format combined with arbitrary data modulation formats, such as BPSK and QPSK. The receiver has a pseudonoise (PN) generator for generating a unique PN sequence signal. The PN sequence signal is divided into a real and an imaginary component. The complex input signal is divided into inphase and quadrature components. The inphase and the quadrature components of the input signal are downsampled to provide either two complex samples per chip period or one complex sample per chip period. In the latter case, the downsampling instants are delayed by a quarter of a chip period. Each downsampled complex signal is correlated with the corresponding segment of the complex PN sequence signal of the receiver. In the case where two samples per chip are provided after downsampling, the correlation values obtained for odd and even complex samples of the downsampled input signal are summed.
