Patent ID: 7023900

Claim:
A CDMA transmitter comprising: a first baseband combiner capable of receiving N baseband chip streams, each of said N baseband chip streams comprising a sequence of chips, each chip having one of a positive amplitude value and a negative amplitude value, wherein said first baseband combiner combines chips from corresponding time slots in each of said N baseband chip streams to thereby generate a first composite baseband chip sequence; a data processor coupled to said first baseband combiner capable of detecting a first peak amplitude in said first composite baseband chip sequence that exceeds a pre-determined maximum threshold and determining an amplitude and a polarity of a first compensation pulse associated with said first peak amplitude; and a pulse generator coupled to said data processor capable of generating said first compensation pulse having said amplitude and said polarity determined by said data processor, wherein said first baseband combiner receives said first compensation pulse and combines said first compensation pulse with said first composite baseband chip sequence during a chip time slot corresponding to said first peak amplitude.
