Question

What is Spread Spectrum?

 

 

Answer

Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency

 

technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure,

 

mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to

 

trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and

 

security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in

 

the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade-off

 

produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to

 

detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the

 

spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not

 

tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks

 

like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct

 

Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping

 

Spread Spectrum (FHSS).

Question

What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what

are their

 

differences?

 

 

 

 

Answer

Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum (FHSS)

uses a

 

narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is

 

known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized,

 

the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an

 

unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short-duration

 

impulse noise. Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum (DSSS)

 

generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be

 

transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code).

 

The longer the chip, the greater the probability that the original

 

data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are

 

damaged during transmission, statistical techniques

 

embedded in the radio can recover the original data without

 

the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS

 

appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected

 

(ignored) by most narrowband receivers.
