Abstract
A wireless telephone system comprises a base transceiver having a base receiver and a plurality of wireless handsets. Each handset comprises a handset transceiver for establishing a DSSS link over a shared channel with the base unit via the base transceiver. Each receiver the base transceiver and the handset transceivers receives a spread-spectrum signal representing symbol data from a transmitter of the system, where each such receiver comprises a derotator that derotates the spread-spectrum signal in accordance with a counter-rotating signal to provide a derotated signal; a correlator for receiving the derotated signal and for providing output symbol data based on the derotated signal; a carrier tracking loop (CTL) phase error estimator for receiving the output symbol data and for generating a CTL phase error signal based upon the rotation of the spread-spectrum signal; and a CTL for generating the counter-rotating signal based on the CTL phase error signal.
