A new spread spectrum system using spectral correlation technology

Abstract

We present a new kind of spread spectrum receiver using spectral correlation technology. It is based on the cyclostationary spectral correlation principle and the key elements of the coherent receiver using surface acoustic wave (SAW) storage correlator. The system has better performance than an ordinary spread spectrum receiver in terms of narrow-band interference suppression and processing gain. The analysis and the experimental results of spread spectrum system using spectral correlation are given.
