Abstract
System and method for detecting multiple direct sequence spread spectrum signals using a multi-mode searcher. A preferred embodiment comprises the specification of a hypothesis for a particular communications network. The hypothesis can then be used to generate a pseudo-random number (PN) sequence that is provided to a searcher. The searcher can then make adjustments to the PN sequence to bring the PN sequence to conformity with requirements of the particular communications network. The adjustment to the PN sequence permits the use of a multi-mode searcher to perform searches for signals of various communications networks with minimal hardware dedicated to each communications network.
