Spread Spectrum
important encoding method for wireless
communications
analog & digital data with analog signal
spreads data over wide bandwidth
makes jamming and interception harder
two approaches, both in use:
Frequency Hopping
Direct Sequence
distortion
can hide / encrypt signals
several users can share same higher
bandwidth with little interference
Pseudorandom Numbers
generated by a deterministic algorithm
starting from
an initial seed
need to know algorithm and seed to
predict sequence
hence only receiver can decode signal
FHSS (Transmitter)
seconds
duration of signal element is Ts seconds
Slow FHSS has Tc Ts
Fast FHSS has Tc
< Ts
FHSS quite resistant to noise or jamming
Approximate
Spectrum of
DSSS Signal
spectrum
given a data signal rate D
break each bit into k chips according to a
fixed chipping code specific to each user
resulting new channel has chip data rate
kD chips per second
can have multiple channels superimposed
CDMA Example

looked at use of spread spectrum
techniques:
