(FHSS)
Spread Spectrum
• The energy needed to transmit the signal (the area shown in the diagram) is
the same, but it is now spread over a larger frequency range.
Spread Spectrum
• The power level of the spread
signal can be much lower than
that of the original narrowband
signal without losing data.
• Pattern is pseudorandom; it is
repeated after eight hopping's.
• The second k-bit pattern selected is 111, which selects the 900-kHz carrier;
the eighth pattern is 100, and the frequency is 600 kHz.
• After eight hopping's, the pattern repeats, starting from 101 again.

FHSS Example
FHSS Slow Hopping
• In slow hopping, the transmitter uses one frequency for several bit periods.
• Figure shows five user bits with a bit period tb. Performing slow hopping, the
transmitter uses the frequency f2 for transmitting the first three bits during the
dwell time td.
• The transmitter hops three times during a bit period. Fast hopping systems are
more complex to implement because the transmitter and receiver have to
stay synchronized within smaller tolerances to perform hopping at more or less
the same points in time.
• In DSSS, we replace each data bit with n bits using a spreading code. In
other words, each bit is assigned a code of n bits, called chips, where the
chip rate is n times that of the data bit.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
• Barker sequence, where n is 11. We assume that the original signal and the
chips in the chip generator use polar NRZ encoding.
• Figure shows the chips and the result of multiplying the original data by the
chips to get the spread signal.

• Figure shows the chips and the result of multiplying the original data by the
chips to get the spread signal.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
• If the original signal rate is N, the rate of the spread signal is 11N. This means
that the required bandwidth for the spread signal is 11 times larger than the
bandwidth of the original signal.
• The spread signal can provide privacy if the intruder does not know the
code. It can also provide immunity against interference if each station uses
a different code.

DSSS- Benefits
Security
SS prevents unauthorized listening. Unless a receiver has a very wide
bandwidth and the exact pseudorandom code and type of modulation, it
cannot intercept an SS signal.
Precise timing.
Use of the pseudorandom code in SS provides a way to precisely determine
the start and end of a transmission. Thus SS is a superior method for radar and
other applications that rely on accurate knowledge of transmission time to
determine distance.
Band sharing.
Many users can share a single band with little or no interference. (As more
and more signals use a band, the background noise produced by the
switching of many signals increases, but not enough to prevent highly reliable
communication.)
