Spread Spectrum

Spread Spectrum. A signal that occupies a bandwidth of B, is spread out to occupy a bandwidth of B ss All signals are spread to occupy the same bandwidth B ss Signals are spread with different codes so that they can be separated at the receivers.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Spread Spectrum • A signal that occupies a bandwidth of B, is spread out to occupy a bandwidth of Bss • All signals are spread to occupy the same bandwidth Bss • Signals are spread with different codes so that they can be separated at the receivers. • Signals can be spread in the frequency domain or in the time domain.

  3. Spread Spectrum • Input is fed into a channel encoder • Produces analog signal with narrow bandwidth • Signal is further modulated using sequence of digits • Spreading code or spreading sequence • Generated by pseudonoise, or pseudo-random number generator • Effect of modulation is to increase bandwidth of signal to be transmitted

  4. Spread Spectrum • On receiving end, digit sequence is used to demodulate the spread spectrum signal • Signal is fed into a channel decoder to recover data

  6. Spread Spectrum • What can be gained from apparent waste of spectrum? • Immunity from various kinds of noise and multipath distortion • Can be used for hiding and encrypting signals • Several users can independently use the same higher bandwidth with very little interference

  7. Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) • Signal is broadcast over seemingly random series of radio frequencies • A number of channels allocated for the FH signal • Width of each channel corresponds to bandwidth of input signal • Signal hops from frequency to frequency at fixed intervals • Transmitter operates in one channel at a time • Bits are transmitted using some encoding scheme • At each successive interval, a new carrier frequency is selected

  8. Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum • Channel sequence dictated by spreading code • Receiver, hopping between frequencies in synchronization with transmitter, picks up message • Advantages • Eavesdroppers hear only unintelligible blips • Attempts to jam signal on one frequency succeed only at knocking out a few bits

  9. Gains • Immunity from various noise and multipath distortion • Including jamming • Can hide/encrypt 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)

  18. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) • Each bit in original signal is represented by multiple bits in the transmitted signal • Spreading code spreads signal across a wider frequency band • Spread is in direct proportion to number of bits used • One technique combines digital information stream with the spreading code bit stream using exclusive-OR (Figure 7.6)

  20. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) • Each bit represented by multiple bits using spreading code • Spreading code spreads signal across wider frequency band • In proportion to number of bits used • 10 bit spreading code spreads signal across 10 times bandwidth of 1 bit code • One method: • Combine input with spreading code using XOR • Input bit 1 inverts spreading code bit • Input zero bit doesn’t alter spreading code bit • Data rate equal to original spreading code • Performance similar to FHSS
