Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Any implementation of Spread Spectrum

[Mir M. Ali]

Hi Johnathan,
I have a few question regarding implementation. The book that you referred earlier was of great help. Thanks. 
I am sure this won't take a lot of your time and I would be really glad and thankful to you if you answer them.

 In the transmitter the data and the PN code is ex-or and then modulated and transmitted. So basically this is a BPSK transmission. At the receiver the received signal is first multiplied by the PN code in order to strip it free of PN code and this happens at the E/P/L correlation and Costas Loop block. Being a BPSK signal this is correct. 

1. My question is can I just use the upsampler and multiply the upsampled sequence with the received signal samples?
2. Where will the AGC and the RRC filter go in this arrangement?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Ali

There is plenty of information available via Google.  An excellent
reference book is:

"Fundamentals of Global Positioning System Receivers: A Software Approach"
Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering
James Bao-Yen Tsui, 2004
