Abstract: A homodyne radio system for receiving direct sequence spread spectrum communications enables a received signal to be down-converted directly to a baseband signal. An input RF amplifier receives and amplifies a carrier signal modulated by a digital code sequence. A local oscillator provides a signal having a frequency substantially equal to the frequency of the carrier signal. A phase splitter coupled to the input RF amplifier receives the modulated carrier signal, and splits the signal into corresponding quadrature component signals. The mixer combines a first one of the quadrature component signals with the local oscillator signal to generate a first quadrature baseband output signal. A second one of the quadrature component signals is combined with the local oscillator signal shifted in phase by 90.degree. to generate a second quadrature baseband output signal.
