Method and apparatus for spread spectrum radio signal recovery in wideband spread spectrum communication systems

A portable transceiver system for wireless communication system comprising:

• an antenna;
• a radio frequency subsystem coupled to the antenna and including a high frequency oscillator and a low frequency oscillator;
• a baseband subsystem coupled to the radio frequency subsystem and including a free running counter coupled to the high frequency oscillator and the low frequency oscillator and a multipath signal recovery circuit coupled to the free running counter;
• and
• at least one peripheral device coupled to the baseband subsystem to receive and supply signals to the baseband receiver,
• the multipath recovery circuit including a plurality of single path processors to recover clock information from a plurality of incoming signals,
• wherein the multipath signal recovery circuit includes a single path processor controller to map one of the incoming signals to each of the single path processors using the free running counter.
