2. 2 Overview of Spread Spectrum Communications Spread Spectrum is a means of transmission in which the data sequence occupies a bandwidth in excess of the minimum bandwidth necessary to send it.
Effectively the signal is mapped to a higher dimension signal space
The signal component in each direction is sqrt(E/N)
Signal spreading is done before transmission by using a spreading sequence. The same sequence is used at the receiver to retrieve the signal
Spread Spectrum is most effective against interference (intentional or non-intentional) with fixed energy.
Main commercial applications in wireless and GPS.

5. 5 Generating the Spreading (Pseudo-Noise) Sequence The pseudo-noise (PN) sequence is a periodic binary sequence with a noise like waveform that is generated by means of a feedback shift register.
The feedback shift register consists of m-stage shift registers and a logic circuit that perform modulo-2 (X-OR) arithmetic.
A sequence with period 2m-1 is called Maximal-Length sequence
6. 6 PN Sequence: Example
7. 7 Properties of Maximal-Length Sequences In each period of a maximal-length sequence, the number of 1’s and the number of 0’s in the sequence always differ by 1.
The autocorrelation function of a maximal-length sequence is periodic and binary valued.

11. 11 Analysis The objective is to find the ratio of the SNR (SNRI) at the input of the receiver to the SNR (SNRO) at the output of the receiver

14. 14 Probability of Error vcj is a random variable with zero mean and variance JTc/2
vcj can be viewed as a white noise with zero mean and variance N0/2 = JTc/2
Assuming Gaussian distribution for the jamming component, the probability of error due to jamming
When noise and jamming exist the probability of error is

16. 16 Frequency-Hopped (FH) Spread Spectrum FH/SS is usually used with Binary FSK or M-ary FSK
The carrier frequency is determined by the output sequence from a PN generator
Slow hopping system has a hopping rate that is lower than the information rate (symbol rate)
Several information symbols are transmitted by the same carrier frequency
Fast hopping system has a hopping rate that is higher than the information rate
One information symbol is transmitted by different carrier frequencies.

19. 19 Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Multiple users can use the same channel as long as different users are assigned different PN sequence (code)
Several users can transmit simultaneously on the same channel
The transmissions from other users will look like interference.
CDMA main application is wireless communication.
CDMA is the wireless standard for North America
Assuming all users have the same power, Ps, the number of user Nu that can be supported is given by:
