A new surface acoustic wave differential quadraphase shift key(SAW DQPSK) spread spectrum(SS) signal matched filter based on the fusion of SS and differential modulation is reported. The design of multi-phase coded SAW matched filter is proposed rather than another design of SAW DQPSK filter, which can cut in a half of the delay time of SAW DQPSK matched filter and SAW fiyed delay line(FDL) used for differential demodulation. This breakthrough is made the system largely reduce a size and process much easily. This method can also be feasible in other SAW MPSK matched filter design especially when the modulation phase number is larger than 4. The design example and its experimental results are given.
