SYSC 4607 – Lecture 23 Outline • Overview of Spread Spectrum Modulation • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) • ISI and Interference Rejection Properties of DSSS • Basics of Frequency Hopping spread spectrum • Maximum-Length Sequences (m-Sequences) • Rake Receivers
Spread Spectrum • Transmitted signal occupies a bandwidth much larger than the BW of the message signal - Hides a signal below the noise floor (hard to detect) - Mitigates narrowband interference and jamming - Provides multipath (ISI) rejection - Provides diversity benefit by coherent combination of resolved multipath components - Not spectrally efficient for single user. Allows many users to share the same bandwidth • Long history of military use. Commercial applications relatively new. Forms the basis of multiuser CDMA in wireless, the dominant access method for 3G
DSSS- Transceiver Structure Modulation/demodulation is performed normally.
RAKE Receiver • DSSS removes most of the energy from multipath. • The received signal components typically experience fading. The system normally synchronizes to the strongest multipath component. • A RAKE receiver has N branches that synchronize to N different multipath components. • Different multipath components are combined using Selection, Equal Gain, or Maximal Ratio Combining. • RAKE is a diversity combining technique, with diversity branches provided by the environment.
Main Points • Spread spectrum spreads signal over wide bandwidth for ISI/interference rejection • Direct Sequence and Frequency Hopping are major spread spectrum techniques • DSSS rejects interference by spreading gain • DSSS rejects multipath ISI by code autocorrelation • Maximal-length (m) sequence codes have good autocorrelation, poor cross-correlation properties • RAKE receivers coherently combine multipath components to improve performance
