Abstract :
Recently, the super-regenerative receiver has demonstrated to be suitable for DSSS signal detection. This paper makes a analysis of two spread-spectrum supercomparative regenerative architectures operating with periodic and pseudorandom quench, respectively. The following aspects are considered: total receiver gain, spread-spectrum interference rejection, power consumption and reradiation. Experimental results are presented for both architectures
