Spread Spectrum (SS)

Spread Spectrum is a technique in which pseudonoise code, independent of the information data, is employed as a modulation waveform to spread the signal energy over a bandwidth much greater than the signal information bandwidth. Band expansion is achieved by a second modulation. The term Spread Spectrum (SS) has been used in a wide variety of military and commercial communication systems.

Advantages
The expanded bandwidth provides certain desirable features and characteristics that could otherwise be difficult to obtain. Common bandwidth usage Improved interference rejection Code division multiplexing for CDMA operation Low-density power spectrum for signal hiding Anti jam capability Lower cost of implementation Readily available IC components Unlicensed operation in ISM band Secure communication

DSSS in IEEE 802.11

1Mbps data signal 11Mbps data signal Using PSK modulation Using 11-chip Barker sequence (+1 +1 +1 -1 -1 -1 +1 -1 -1 +1 -1) : provides good immunity against interference and noise, some protection against multipath propagation Operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, 11 channels in the US and 9 channels in Europe. At least 30MHz separation of center frequencies to avoid interfering with each other Also an option defined for 2Mbps using QPSK

DSSS in GPS
Stubbornly uses DSSS Low data rate (50bps) 1023-chip pseudo-random spreading code (repeated every 1ms) BPSK modulation (1.023 Mbps)
High level of redundancy in comparison with other wireless links
Power at receiver antenna ~ -130 dbm (noise power ~ -110 dbm) At the receiver side, the decoding of the received signal is performed before the demodulation. The decoder of the DSSS receiver is commonly implemented as a despreading correlator.

FHSS in IEEE 802.11

Uses 79 non overlapping 1MHz channels to transmit a 1 Mbps data signal over the 2.4 GHz ISM band. A channel hop occurs every 224 microseconds Each hopping pattern jumps a minimum of six channels in each hop Each 802.11 network must use a particular hopping pattern An option provides for transmission at a rate of 2 Mbps Hopping rate : 2.5 hop/s (hopping rate : 1600 hop/s in Bluetooth)

THSS
There has been an interest in ultra wide band width (UWB) time-hopping(TH) spread-spectrum(SS) multiple access techniques for both commercial and military applications The key motivations for using UWB TH-SS radio are the ability to highly resolve multipath, as well as the availability of the technology to implement and generate UWB signals with relatively low complexity. Since the signal is sent at different times no interference will occur. But sometimes we dont use the channel

CSS
A chirp is a sinusoidal signal whose frequency increases or decreases over a certain amount of time.
Chirp Signal
16
CSS
Does not add any pseudo random elements to the signal Chirp Spread Spectrum is resistant to the Doppler effect Ideal for low power (difficult to detect) and low data rate applications. Currently, Nanotron Technologies, which produces real-time location devices and was the primary force behind getting CSS added to IEEE802.15.4a, is the only seller of wireless devices using CSS. It is not easy to build a chirp signal
