  • Patent number: 8451805
    Abstract: A radio wave detecting apparatus that can perform carrier sense of radio waves subjected to spread spectrum with a simple configuration, in which a spread code is multiplied by an information signal, the band is spread, and a spread information signal is generated. A beacon signal in a predetermined band is synthesized with the spread information signal, and a synthesized signal is transmitted as a radio wave. Furthermore, only a signal component in a predetermined band is extracted from a received radio wave, so that a beacon signal is separated. The presence of a radio wave is detected based on the receiving power of the separated beacon signal. If the presence of the radio wave is detected, the transmission of the radio wave is stopped.
