Abstract

A spread spectrum system having an assignor, a spread-spectrum processor and a transmitter. The assignor assigns each arriving information signal to a message-code signal. Each message-code signal is different then other message-code signals. The spread-spectrum processor generates a pilot code signal and processes the information signals with the message-code signals to generate spread-spectrum process-message signals synchronized to the pilot-code signal. A transmitter combines the spread-spectrum process-message signals and the pilot-code signal to generate a CDM signal. The transmitter modulates the CDM signal with a carrier signal for transmission over the communications channel.
