The Concept of Spread Spectrum
Input fed into channel encoder that produces analog
signal at narrow bandwidth around central frequency Signal is modulated using sequence of digits known as spreading code or spreading sequence. Spreading code generated by pseudonoise /pseudorandom number generator The effect of modulation is to increases bandwidth significantly as the signal transmitted On the receiver side. The same digit sequence used to demodulate the spread signal. Demodulated signal fed into channel decoder to recover the data

Several things can be gained Immunity from various noise and multipath distortion Earliest application : military communication used for its immunity to jamming Cused for hiding and encrypting signals Only receiver who knows spreading code can retrieve signal Several users can share same higher bandwidth with little interference Cellular telephones Code division multiplexing (CDM) Code division multiple access (CDMA)

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Signal broadcast over seemingly random series of frequencies, hopping from frequency to frequency at fixed interval At receiver side, hoping between frequencies in synchronization with transmitter Eavesdroppers hear unintelligible blips (repetitive pulse) Attempt to jam the signal on one frequency affects only knocking out a few bits

Basic Operation Typically 2k carriers frequencies forming 2k channels Channel spacing (between carrier frequency and width of each channel) corresponds with bandwidth of the input signal Each channel used for fixed interval 300 ms in IEEE 802.11 During that interval, some number of bits transmitted using some encoding scheme Sequence of channel is dictated by spreading code Transmitter and receiver used same code for synchronization

FHSS • During transmission, binary data is fed into a modulator using some digital to analog encoding scheme. • The resulting signal is centered on some base frequency. • A Pseudonoise Number(PN) source serves as an index into a table of frequencies or called spreading code. • New carrier frequency selected based on successive interval (each k PN bits) • This frequency modulated by initial modulator to produce signal with selected carrier frequency

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum System (Receiver) • On receiver side, the spread spectrum signal is demodulated using same frequency of PN and demodulated to produce output data.

Slow and Fast FHSS Common modulation technique used conjunction with FHSS is multiple FSK (MFSK) For FHSS, MFSK signal is translated to new frequency every Tc seconds by modulating the MFSK signal with FHSS carrier. The effect is to translate he MFSK signal into the appropriate FHSS channel. For data rate R, duration of bits is T= 1/R and duration of a signal element is Ts = LT seconds Slow FHSS has T T c s Fast FHSS has T < T c s Generally fast FHSS gives improved performance in noise (or jamming) Electrical Engineering Department 11 Slow Frequency Hop Spread Spectrum Using MFSK (M=4, k=2)
