Abstract

Current applications of the super-regenerative receiver use narrowband modulations. In this paper a new architecture that allows incoherent detection of spread-spectrum signals is presented. A pseudorandom code generator has been added to the original circuit. It is clocked by the quench oscillator and takes advantage of the characteristic broad reception bandwidth. CDMA can be achieved via ASK and FSK modulated signals with high simplicity in the RF stage as well as low power consumption
