Abstract

A spread-spectrum system in which the receiver (501) may decode the spread-spectrum signal without any need for a locally generated copy of the chip sequence used by the transmitter to encode the signal, and without the need for synchronizing operation of the receiver with the transmitter. The system may comprise a receiver (501) in which the incoming spread-spectrum signal is delayed by a plurality of delay lines (503, 504) and in which the signal and its delayed versions are multiplied (505) and filtered (506) to recover the original data. The delay imposed by each delayline (503, 504) may be small compared with a single bit-transmission time. Alternatively, the data may be prepared by the transmitter to account for delays at the receiver which are not small compared with a single bit-transmission time. In such case, the receiver may impose delays which are not small compared with a single bit-transmission time, and may review the data which is recovered by multiplication and filtering to reverse the preparation step performed at the transmitter.

DESCRIPTION
Despreadinα/Demodulatinα Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signals
Background of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to despreading and demodulating direct sequence spread-spectrum signals.
2. Description of Related Art
In direct-sequence biphase spread-spectrum modulation, a pseudo-random chip sequence is used to encode data onto a carrier waveform. The resulting encoded signal is generally spread across a spectrum bandwidth which sub- stantially exceeds the data-transfer rate, hence the term "spread-spectrum" . The receiver produces a correlated signal in response to the received spread-spectrum signal when it is able to match the chip sequence to a sufficient degree. To do so, the receiver must generally generate the same pseudo-random chip sequence, synchronize its chip sequence to the transmitter's chip sequence, and maintain synchronization during transmission and reception of data.
The requirement of synchronization by the receiver has generally been a problem in the art. This requirement generally increases the difficulty of acquiring a spread- spectrum signal, maintaining synchronization with an acquired spread-spectrum signal, and in receiving the spread-spectrum signal in a very noisy environment. It can result, at the receiver, in additional circuit com- plexity, increased costs, and other operational con¬ straints on the communication system. For example, in a noisy environment, the longer time required to achieve synchronization can introduce a severe drag on the efficiency of a communication system. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to have a spread-spectrum communi¬ cation system in which the receiver may de-spread and demodulate the transmitted spread-spectrum signal without the use of a locally generated copy of the chip sequence and without the need for synchronizing that copy with the transmitter.
Summary of the Invention
The invention provides a spread-spectrum system in which the receiver may decode the spread-spectrum signal without any need for a locally generated copy of the chip sequence used by the transmitter to encode the signal, and without the need for synchronizing operation of the receiver with the transmitter. The system may comprise a receiver in which the incoming spread-spectrum signal is delayed by a plurality of (preferably two) delay lines, and in which the signal and its delayed versions are multiplied and filtered to recover the original data. In a preferred embodiment, the delay imposed by each delay line may be small compared with a single bit-transmission time.
In a second embodiment, the data may be prepared by the transmitter to account for delays at the receiver which are not small compared with a single bit- transmission time (i.e., more than one chip time and less than one bit time) . The prepared data may comprise, for example, precomputed delays which account for transmission delays over a substantial distance. In such case, the receiver may impose delays which are not small compared with a single bit-transmission time, and may review the data which is recovered by multiplication and filtering to reverse the preparation step performed at the transmitter. In a third embodiment, the chip sequence may be recovered by operation of the receiver. This chip sequence may be applied to a baseband spread-spectrum signal, allowing recovery of the original data without filtering. In a preferred version of this embodiment, at least part of the original data may be encoded using a- single chip sequence, which may be uninverted to indicate a "0" bit and may be inverted to indicate a "1" bit.
In a fourth embodiment, a carrier for the spread- spectrum signal may be recovered by operation of the receiver. This carrier signal may be used to demodulate information imposed on the original carrier.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a spread-spectrum communication transmitter and receiver as known in the art.
A spread-spectrum transmitter 101 may comprise an input port 102 for input data 103, a chip sequence transmitter generator 104, a modulator 105, and a transmitting antenna 106 for transmitting a spread- spectrum signal 107. A spread-spectrum receiver 108 may comprise a receiver antenna 109, a chip sequence receiver generator 110, a demodulator 111, and an output port 112 for output data 113. In a preferred embodiment, a single chip sequence 114 is identically generated by both the transmitter generator 104 and the receiver generator 110, and appears essentially random to others not knowing the spreading code upon which it is based. An extensive discussion of spread-spectrum communication, spreading codes, and chip sequences, may be found in R. Dixon, SPREAD SPECTRUM SYSTEMS (1984) .
Spread-Spectrum Receiver Without Chip Sequence Generator Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a spread-spectrum communication receiver.
In a preferred embodiment, the transmitter 101 has generated a carrier waveform (not shown) which has been phase modulated (e.g., biphase modulated) with the chip sequence 114 and the input data 103 at a chipping rate which is higher than a data transmission rate. The chip sequence 114 may comprise a maximal linear pseudo-random binary sequence. The input data 103 may be phase-shift keyed (PSK) .
The receiver 201 may comprise a receiving port 202 coupled to the receiver antenna 109, which may comprise an output node of a circuit coupled to the receiver antenna 109 for amplification, filtering and other preprocessing functions. The receiving port 202 may be coupled to a first delay 203 and to a second delay 204. (Although the drawing may show the receiving port 202 coupled to the first delay 203 and to the second delay 204 in parallel, it would be clear to those of ordinary skill in the art, after perusal of the specification, drawings and claims, that one of the first delay 203 and the second delay 204 will be longer, and thus that the second delay 204 may be coupled to an output of the first delay 203.)
The receiving port 202, the first delay 203 and the second delay 204 may be coupled in parallel to a multiplier circuit 205. The multiplier circuit 205 may be coupled to a filter 206. The filter 206 may be coupled to the output port 112 of the receiver 201. In a preferred embodiment, the receiver 201 need not have any chip sequence receiver generator 110. Operation of Spread-Spectrum Receiver
Operation of the receiver 201 is based on the property of maximal linear binary sequences that the modulo-two sum of the sequence with a phase-shifted version of itself will simply be a second phase-shifted version of the same sequence. The amount of the second phase shift depends upon the particular maximal linear binary sequence used. Thus, if a carrier which has been biphase modulated is processed to develop three phase-distinct sequences, and the three phase-distinct sequences are multiplied, the third harmonic of the product may be recovered with the phase modulation removed.
Let t = time, s(t) = the spread-spectrum signal 107, a(t) = the maximal linear binary sequence, and w = carrier frequency.
Without considering transmitted data, s(t) = a(t) cos(wt) . (251)
Let R = chipping rate, j = first delay in chips, k = second delay in chips, a.j (t) = a(t) shifted j chips, and ak(t) = a(t) shifted k chips.
Due to the phase-shifting effect of modulo-two addition, ak(t) = a(t) +raod2 aj(t) . (252)
Equivalently, all three sequences uniformly sum (modulo-two) to the sequence of all zeros: a(t) +mod2 aj(t) +mod2 ak(t) = 0. (253)
Restating equation 253 for the phase-shifted versions of a(t) , s(t + j/R) = a(t + j/R) cos ( t + wj/R) . (254) s(t + k/R) = a(t + k/R) cos (wt + wk/R) . (255)
The output of the multiplier 205 is the product of the three phase-distinct versions of s(t) , the spread-spectrum signal 107: s(t) s(t + j/R) s(t + k/R) = cos(wt) cos (wt + wj/R) cos (wt + wk/R), (256) Phase modulation (e.g., biphase modulation) can be removed because a(t) +mod2 a, (t) +raod2 ak(t) = 0, or equivalently, where the sequences are represented by a series of +1 and -1 values in place of 1 and 0 values, the product a(t) a., (t) ak(t) is uniformly +1. cos(wt) cos (wt + wj/R) cos (wt + wk/R) = (1/2) [cos (wj/R) + cos(2wt + wj/R)] cos (wt + wk/R) = (1/4) cos (wj/R - wt - wk/R)
+ (1/4) cos (wj/R + wt + wk/R) + (1/4) cos (wj/R + wt - wk/R) + (1/4) cos(3wt + wj/R + wk/R) . (257) The output of the filter 206, which filters at 3w, is therefore the 3w component of equation 257:
(1/4) cos(3wt + wj/R + wk/R) . (258)
Alternatively, the filter 206 may filter at w to produce the w component of equation 257, which may be processed in like manner as the 3w component.
(1/4) cos (wt + wj/R + wk/R) . (259)
The values of j and k for which a(t) +mod2 a., (t) +mod2 ak(t) = 0 (equation 253) is true are not unique. Thus, they may be selected so that j and k are small compared with a single bit-transmission time. If so chosen, the data-bit value for each of the three phase-distinct versions of the chip sequence is the same, and the data- bit values (either +1 or -1) are essentially cubed by the multiplier 205, and their value is therefore left unchanged.
Let d(t) = the input data 103. Considering transmitted data, s(t) = d(t) a(t) cos(wt) . (260) s(t + j/R) = d(t + j/R) a(t + j/R) cos (wt + wj/R}261) s(t + k/R) = d(t + k/R) a(t + k/R) cos (wt + wk/R.262) After operation of both the multiplier 205 and the filter 206, the output is:
(1/4) d(t) d(t + j/R) d(t + k/R) cos(3wt + wj/R + wk/R) . (263) Because the delays j and k are small compared with a bit-transmission time, d(t) d(t + j/R) d(t + k/R) =approx. [d(t)]3 = d(t) .(264) In a second embodiment, the input data 103 may be pre- encoded at the transmitter 101 so that it is properly decoded by operation of the multiplier 205 and the filter 206. In this alternative embodiment, it is not necessary to select the delays j and k which are small compared with a bit-transmission time.
Because the transmitter 101 knows the values of R, j and k, it may compute d(t) such that d(t) = d(t + j/R) = d(t + k/R) , (265) for all t. Accordingly, the equation 265 will be uniformly and exactly true for all t .
Input and Output Signal/Noise Ratios
Figure 3 shows a plot of the input and output signal/ noise ratios of the receiver shown in figure 2. The nonlinear operation of the multiplier 205 in multiplying the three phase-distinct versions of the spread-spectrum signal 107 takes place at a relatively low signal/noise ratio, and therefore reduces the signal/noise ratio still further. In a preferred embodiment, this reduction in signal/noise ratio is made up for by processing gain of the rest of the spread-spectrum communication system.
Let SN± = input signal/noise ratio and SN0 = output signal/noise ratio:
SN0 = SNi3 / (3 SNi2 + 9 SN± + 15) . (301) Analog Autosynchronization
Figure 4 shows an embodiment of the invention using analog autosynchronization.
In this embodiment, a derived signal may be recovered by multiplying two phase-delayed copies of the received spread-spectrum signal 107, g(t) = s(t + j/R) s(t + k/R) (401)
The derived signal g(t) has a component gx(t) which comprises twice the input carrier frequency modulated by the same binary sequence, gι( ) = a(t) cos(2wt) (402) and a component g2(t) which comprises twice the input carrier frequency modulated by the same binary sequence, g2(t) = a(t) (403)
When multiplied by the received spread-spectrum signal 107, the original carrier waveform and its third harmonic are recovered, s(t) g(t) = cos(wt) + h(t) cos(3wt) (404)
In a preferred embodiment, the spread-spectrum signal
107 may be modulated with data dx(t) , plus the underlying carrier waveform may also be modulated with data d2(t) . For example, if the spread-spectrum signal 107 is modulated with one of four spread-spectrum codes, it may convey up to two bits of data per code; if the underlying carrier waveform is also modulated by means of 4-ary frequency-shift keying (FSK) , it may also convey up to two bits of data per modulation, for a total of four bits of data.
In a preferred embodiment, the receiver 401 may comprise a receiving port 402 coupled to the receiver antenna 109, which may comprise an output node of a circuit coupled to the receiver antenna 109 for amplification, filtering and other preprocessing functions. In a preferred embodiment, the receiving port 402 may be coupled to a first delay 403 and to a second delay 404, either in parallel or in series, as noted with regard to figure 2. The first delay 403 and the second delay 404 may be coupled in parallel to a first multiplier circuit 405. The receiving port 402 and the first multiplier circuit 405 may be coupled to a second multiplier circuit 406. The second multiplier circuit 406 may be coupled to a filter 407. The receiving port 402 and the filter 407 may be coupled to a third multiplier circuit 408 for demodulating the carrier waveform. The third multiplier circuit 408 may be coupled to the output port 409 of the receiver 401. Digital Autosynchronization
Figure 5 shows an embodiment of the invention using digital autosynchronization.
In this embodiment, the linear sequence a(t) may be computed from the three phase-distinct versions of the received spread-spectrum signal 107. The component g2(t) may be filtered from the derived signal g(t) and used to despread the received spread-spectrum signal 107.
In a preferred embodiment, the receiver 501 may comprise a receiving port 502 coupled to the receiver antenna 109, which may comprise an output node of a circuit coupled to the receiver antenna 109 for amplification, filtering and other preprocessing functions. The receiving port 501 may be coupled to a first delay 503 and to a second delay 504, either in parallel or in series, as noted with regard to figure 2. The first delay 503 and the second delay 504 may be coupled in parallel to a multiplier circuit 505. (The multiplier circuit 505 may comprise an XOR circuit.) The multiplier circuit 505 may be coupled to a filter 506. The filter 506 may be coupled to an A/D 507. The receiving port 502 and the A/D 507 may be coupled to a despreading circuit 508. The despreading circuit 508 may be coupled to the output port 509 of the receiver 501.
