A MAJOR CONCERN IN THE STUDY OF DIGITAL
COMMUNICATIONS IS TO PROVIDE EFFICIENT UTILIZATION OF
BANDWIDTH AND POWER.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE IT IS REQUIRED TO
SACRIFICE EFFICIENT USE OF THESE TWO RESOURCES TO MEET CERTAIN
DESIGN OBJECTIVE.
FOR EXAMPLE THE SYSTEM MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A
FORM OF SECURE COMMUNICATION IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT SUCH
THAT THE TRANSMITTED SIGNAL IS NOT EASILY DETECTED BY
UNWANTED LISTENERS
THIS REQUIREMENT IS CATERED TO BY A CLASS OF SIGNALING
TECHNIQUES KNOWN AS SPREAD-SPECTRUM (SS) MODULATION.
What is Spread Spectrum Communication?
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
SPREAD SPECTRUM – TECHNIQUE WHEREBY AN ALREADY
MODULATED SIGNAL IS MODULATED A SECOND TIME,
PRODUCING A WAVEFORM THAT INTERFERES IN A BARELY
NOTICEABLE WAY WITH ANY OTHER SIGNAL OPERATING IN THE
SAME FREQUENCY BAND
– INTERFERING SIGNALS ARE TRANSPARENT TO SPREAD SPECTRUM

–SPREAD SPECTRUM SIGNALS ARE TRANSPARENT TO INTERFERING

THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF A SS SIGNAL IS ITS ABILITY TO REJECT
UNINTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE BY ANOTHER USER SIMULTANEOUSLY SHARING
THE CHANNEL, OR TO REJECT INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE BY A HOSTILE
TRANSMITTER ATTEMPTING TO JAM THE TRANSMISSION.
SS is a means of transmission in which the data sequence occupies bandwidth
in excess of the minimum bandwidth necessary to send it.
The spectrum spreading is accomplished before transmission through the use
of a code that is independent of the data sequence. The same code is used in
the receiver (operating in synchronism with the transmitter) to despread the
received signal so that the original data sequence may be recovered

A pseudonoise (PN) sequence/MAXIMUM LENGTH SEQUENCE(ML) may
be defined as a coded sequence of 1’s and 0’s with certain
autocorrelation properties.
The PN sequence is a deterministic, periodic signal that is known to both
the transmitter and receiver.
Even though the signal is deterministic it appears to have the statistical
properties of sampled white noise.
Hence, it appears to be a truly random signal, to an unauthorised
listener.

The most important advantage of spread spectrum modulation is that it provides
protection against externally generated interfering signals such as jamming
signals. The direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) technique can be used in
practice for such interference suppression.
For this transmission of information signal is carried over a band pass channel
(e.G. Satellite channel).
For such an application, the coherent binary phase shift keying (BPSK) is used in
the communication system.
In the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) systems, the use of a PN
sequence to modulate a phase shift keyed signal achieves instantaneous
spreading of the transmission bandwidth.

ADVANTAGES OF DS-SS SYSTEM
1. This system combats the intentional interference (jamming) most effectively.
2. This system has a very high degree of discrimination against the multi path
signals. Therefore, the interference caused by the multipath reception is
minimized successfully.
3. The performance of DS-SS system in the presence of noise is superior to other
systems.
Disadvantages of DS-SS system
1. The PN code generator output must have a high rate. The length of such a
sequence needs to be long enough to make the sequence truly random.
2. With the serial search system, the acquisition time is too large. This makes the
DS-SS system be slow.
3. Synchronization is affected by the variable distance between the transmitter
and receiver.
4. The DS-SS signal is not very effective against broadband interference.
Major applications of DS-SS system
1. Providing immunity against a jamming signal – anti-jamming application.
2. Low detectability signal transmission – the signal is purposely transmitted at a
very low power level. Hence the signal has a low probability of being intercepted
(LPI) and it is called an LPI signal.
3. Accommodating a number of simultaneous signal transmissions on the same
channel, i.E. Code division multiple access (CDMA) or spread spectrum multiple
access (SSMA).

Frequency Hopping spread spectrum and their applications
OUTCOMES:
Learn FHSS spread Spectrum system.
MODULE-III
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
The frequency hopping spread spectrum (FH-SS) system is an alternative
method. In FH-SS, the spectrum of the transmitted signal is spread sequentially
by randomly hopping the data modulated carrier from one frequency to the
next.
Hence, the type of spread spectrum in which the carrier hops randomly from one
frequency to another is called frequency-hopped spread spectrum (FH-SS)
system.
In a FH-SS communication system the available channel bandwidth is
subdivided into a large number of contiguous frequency slots. In any signaling
interval, the transmitted signal occupies one or more of the available
frequency slots. The selection of the frequency slot(s) in each signaling
interval is made pseudo randomly according to the output from a PN
generator. The figure illustrates a particular FH pattern in the time-frequency
plane.
FHSS
MATRUSRI

MATRUSRI

Using the M-ary FSK system, M symbols can be transmitted, where M=2K. Here k is the
number of bits of the input binary data that form one symbol.
The M-ary FSK modulator will assign a distinct frequency for each of these M symbols.
The synthesizer output at a given instant of time is the frequency hop.
The output bits of the PN generator change randomly. Hence the synthesizer output
frequency will also change randomly.
Each frequency hop is mixed with the MFSK signal to produce the transmitted signal.
If the number of successive bits at the output of PN generator is n, then the total
number of frequency hops will be 2n.
The total bandwidth of the transmitted FH-MFSK signal is equal to the sum of all the
frequency hops. Therefore, the bandwidth of the transmitted FH-MFSK signal is very
large of the order of few GHz.
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
The received signal is applied as input to the Mixer. The other input to the
mixer is obtained from the digital frequency synthesizer. The frequency
synthesizer is driven by a PN code generator. This generator is synchronized
with the PN code generator at the transmitter.
Therefore, the frequency hops produced at the synthesizer output will be
identical to those at the transmitter. The mixer produces two outputs of the
sum frequency and the difference frequency. The band pass filter selects only
the difference frequency, which is the MFSK signal. Thus the mixer removes
the frequency hopping. The MFSK signal is then applied to a non-coherent
MFSK detector.
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
A bank of M, non-coherent matched filters is used for non-coherent MFSK
detection. Each matched filter is matched to one of the tones of the MFSK
signal. An estimate of the original symbol transmitted is obtained by
selecting the largest filter output.

If the hop rate Rh is an integer multiple of symbol rate Rs of MFSK i.e carrier
frequency will hop several times during the transmission of one symbol.

Advantages of FH-SS system:
The processing gain PG is higher than that of DS-SS system.
Synchronization is not greatly dependent on the distance.
The serial search system with FH-SS needs shorter time for acquisition.
Disadvantages of FH-SS system:
The bandwidth of FH-SS system is too large (in GHz).
Complex and expensive digital frequency synthesizers are required.
Applications of FHSS system:
CDMA systems based on FH spread spectrum signals are particularly
attractive for mobile communication.
Wireless local area networks (WLAN) standard for Wi-Fi.
Wireless Personal area network (WPAN) standard for Bluetooth.

ACQUISITION: The first step, called acquisition, consists of bringing the two
spreading signals into coarse alignment with one another.
TRACKING: Once the received spread spectrum signal has been acquired, the
second step, called tracking, takes over for fine alignment.

Serial search scheme for Direct Sequence spread spectrum
systems. There is always an initial timing uncertainty between
the receiver and the transmitter. Let us suppose that the
transmitter has N chips and the chip duration isTc. If initial
synchronization is to take place in the presence of additive noise
and other interference, it is necessary to dwell for Td=NTc in
order to test synchronism at each time instant. We search over
the time uncertainty interval in(coarse) time stepsof ½Tc.
serial search scheme for frequency hopping spread spectrum systems.
Here the non-coherent matched filter consists of a mixer followed by a
bandpass filter (BPF) and a square law envelope detector. The PN code
generator controls the frequency hopper. Acquisition is accomplished
when the local hopping is aligned with that of the received signal.
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
The received DS spread spectrum signal is applied simultaneously to two
multipliers. One of the multipliers is fed with PN code delayed by , a fraction
of thechip interval. The other multiplier is fed with the same PN code
advanced by . Theoutput from each multiplier is fed to a BPF centred on f0.
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
The commonly used tracking loop for a direct sequence
spectrum signal is the Delay-locked loop (DLL)
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
A typical tracking technique for FH spread spectrum signals is
illustrated in Although initial acquisition has been achieved, there
is a small timing error between the received signal and the receiver
clock. The BPF is tuned to a single intermediate frequency and its
bandwidth is of the order of 1/Tc .Its output is envelope detected
and then multiplied by the clock signal to produce a three-level
signal. This drives the loop filter.
MATRUSRI
ENGINEERING COLLEGE
APPLICATIONS OF SS:
Combating or suppressing the detrimental effects of interference due to jamming
(Intentional interference). It can be used in military applications also.
Accommodating multiple users to transmit messages simultaneously over the
same channel bandwidth. This type of digital communication in which each user
(transmitter-receiver pair) has a distinct PN code for transmitting over a common
channel bandwidth is called as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or
Spread Spectrum Multiple Access (SSMA). This technique is popularly used in
digital cellular communications.
Reducing the unintentional interference arising from other users of the channel.
Suppressing self-interference due to multipath propagation.
Hiding a signal by transmitting it at low power and, thus, making it difficult for an
unintended listener to detect in the presence of background noise. It is also called
a Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) signal.
Achieving message privacy in the presence of other listeners.
Obtaining accurate range (time delay) and range rate (velocity)measurements in
radar and navigation.

  • 41. Advantages of FH-SS system: The processing gain PG is higher than that of DS-SS system. Synchronization is not greatly dependent on the distance. The serial search system with FH-SS needs shorter time for acquisition. Disadvantages of FH-SS system: The bandwidth of FH-SS system is too large (in GHz). Complex and expensive digital frequency synthesizers are required. Applications of FHSS system: CDMA systems based on FH spread spectrum signals are particularly attractive for mobile communication. Wireless local area networks (WLAN) standard for Wi-Fi. Wireless Personal area network (WPAN) standard for Bluetooth. MATRUSRI ENGINEERING COLLEGE

  • 44. ACQUISITION: The first step, called acquisition, consists of bringing the two spreading signals into coarse alignment with one another. TRACKING: Once the received spread spectrum signal has been acquired, the second step, called tracking, takes over for fine alignment. BOTH ACQUISITION AND TRACKING MAKE USE OF THE FEEDBACK LOOP.

  • 45. MATRUSRI ENGINEERING COLLEGE Serial search scheme for Direct Sequence spread spectrum systems. There is always an initial timing uncertainty between the receiver and the transmitter. Let us suppose that the transmitter has N chips and the chip duration isTc. If initial synchronization is to take place in the presence of additive noise and other interference, it is necessary to dwell for Td=NTc in order to test synchronism at each time instant. We search over the time uncertainty interval in(coarse) time stepsof ½Tc.
  • 46. serial search scheme for frequency hopping spread spectrum systems. Here the non-coherent matched filter consists of a mixer followed by a bandpass filter (BPF) and a square law envelope detector. The PN code generator controls the frequency hopper. Acquisition is accomplished when the local hopping is aligned with that of the received signal. MATRUSRI ENGINEERING COLLEGE
  • 47. The received DS spread spectrum signal is applied simultaneously to two multipliers. One of the multipliers is fed with PN code delayed by , a fraction of thechip interval. The other multiplier is fed with the same PN code advanced by . Theoutput from each multiplier is fed to a BPF centred on f0. MATRUSRI ENGINEERING COLLEGE The commonly used tracking loop for a direct sequence spectrum signal is the Delay-locked loop (DLL)
  • 48. MATRUSRI ENGINEERING COLLEGE A typical tracking technique for FH spread spectrum signals is illustrated in Although initial acquisition has been achieved, there is a small timing error between the received signal and the receiver clock. The BPF is tuned to a single intermediate frequency and its bandwidth is of the order of 1/Tc .Its output is envelope detected and then multiplied by the clock signal to produce a three-level signal. This drives the loop filter.
  • 50. APPLICATIONS OF SS: Combating or suppressing the detrimental effects of interference due to jamming (Intentional interference). It can be used in military applications also. Accommodating multiple users to transmit messages simultaneously over the same channel bandwidth. This type of digital communication in which each user (transmitter-receiver pair) has a distinct PN code for transmitting over a common channel bandwidth is called as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Spread Spectrum Multiple Access (SSMA). This technique is popularly used in digital cellular communications. Reducing the unintentional interference arising from other users of the channel. Suppressing self-interference due to multipath propagation. Hiding a signal by transmitting it at low power and, thus, making it difficult for an unintended listener to detect in the presence of background noise. It is also called a Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) signal. Achieving message privacy in the presence of other listeners. Obtaining accurate range (time delay) and range rate (velocity)measurements in radar and navigation. MATRUSRI ENGINEERING COLLEGE
