Patent ID: 7065127

Claim:
A system for generating and acquiring pseudo-noise (PN) spread signals, the system comprising: a transmitter, wherein the transmitter comprises: a first clock generator, at least three first pseudo-noise (PN) component code generators coupled to the first clock generator; a logic combiner coupled to the at least three first PN component code generators, the logic combiner adapted to generate a composite PN code; a first N-bit counter coupled to the first clock generator; a second clock generator, wherein the second clock is adapted to synchronize with the first clock generator; a second M-bit counter coupled to the second clock generator; a receiver, the receiver adapted to receive signals from the transmitter, comprising: a link control processor; a modulator/demodulator controller coupled to the link control processor; a first receiver clock generator; at least three first receiver pseudo-noise (PN) component code generators coupled to the first receiver clock generator; a despreader coupled to one of the at least three first receiver PN component code generators; a receiver logic combiner coupled to the at least three first receiver PN component code generators, the receiver logic combiner adapted to generate a composite PN code; a first receiver N-bit counter coupled to the first receiver clock generator; a second receiver clock generator, wherein the second receiver clock generator is adapted to synchronize with the first receiver clock; and a second receiver M-bit counter coupled to the second receiver clock generator.
