Spread spectrum technology

• Problem of radio transmission: frequency dependent fading can wipe


out narrow band signals for duration of the interference
• Solution: spread the narrow band signal into a broad band signal
using a special code
• protection against narrow band interference
• Two types
-Direct Sequence,
-Frequency Hopping
Effects of spreading and interference

DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) I

XOR of the signal with pseudo-random number (chipping sequence)


❑ many chips per bit (e.g., 128) result in higher bandwidth of the signal

FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) I
• For frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) systems, the total
available bandwidth is split into many channels of smaller bandwidth
plus guard spaces between the channels.
• Transmitter and receiver stay on one of these channels for a certain
time and then hop to another channel.
• The pattern of channel usage is called the hopping sequence, the
time spend on a channel with a certain frequency is called the dwell
time.
Two versions
❑ Fast Hopping:
several frequencies per user bit
❑ Slow Hopping:
several user bits per frequency
Advantages
❑ frequency selective fading and interference limited to short period
❑ simple implementation
❑ uses only small portion of spectrum at any time
Disadvantages
❑ not as robust as DSSS
❑ simpler to detect

Eg:Bluetooth performs 1,600 hops per second and uses 79 hop carriers
equally spaced with 1 MHz in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
