A spread spectrum receiver whose de-spreading process based on transformed spreading codes is provided. Instead of de-spreading with original spreading codes, this approach de-spreads received signal with the spreading codes transformed from the original codes in order to eliminate the negative impact of system impairments such as frequency offset to a spread spectrum receiver. Before de-spreading with the transformed code, the received signal goes through the same transformation as the original codes do. After a transformation, the transformed codes may exist some undesirable property such as spreading code having DC content. An approach is given to cancel unwanted side effects relating the transformed spreading codes. The approaches are very effective for spread spectrum system based on frequency modulation scheme such as MSK. For this kind of system, the frequency offset translates to DC offset after the transformation and the DC offset can be cancel since the DC property of the transformed spreading code is known in advance.

Fast settling circuits and methods designed to align input signal amplitude level and to remove DC offset voltages with minimal loss of low frequency signal in receiving analog circuits are disclosed. With the key innovative circuits and methods for signal peak alignment, the disclosed circuits and methods achieve fast settling without significant attenuation of the input signal. Peak aligning circuits and methods can be implemented along with conventional RC AC coupling circuits. In applying the aligning circuits and methods to differential signal pair, DC offsets can be easily removed.

In a spread spectrum system, methods and despreader architectures for despreading the received spreaded codes with the use of a single correlator and a single correlation code is provided. Before despreading the incoming received spreaded codes, a single correlation code is generated using a symbol from a set of symbols that has been mapped into a set of differential encoded PN codes. Despreading output samples for each received spreaded code are obtained by correlating the received spreaded code with this single correlation code. Correlation is accomplished by multiplying each received sample of the received spreaded codes with the correlation code samples and accumulating the products of this multiplication. After correlation, the index for the maximum or minimum peak of the despreading output samples for each code is identified. This index can then be mapped into a symbol corresponding to the transmitted information. Corresponding despreader architectures comprise of a number of taps attached to a series of shift registers. Received samples of each received spreaded codes are inputted into the shift registers. The despreader architectures accumulates the products of multiplication of the value of the shift register with a predetermined value associated with each tap to produce the despreading output samples of a received spreaded code. It identifies the despreading output index producing the maximum of the absolute value of the despreading output and maps said index into a symbol corresponding to the transmitted information.
