Abstract

A method and apparatus for receiving and transmitting direct sequence spread spectrum signals uses a single integrated device for converting and demodulating an RF signal into a serial data signal. Critical timing relationships during the acquisition and demodulation of the received signal are satisfied by the use of an integrated circuit specially designed to perform all operations needed to convert the physical signal to an media access circuit level data signal.
