Spread Spectrum
Spread spectrum is a communication technique that
spreads a narrowband communication signal over a wide range
of frequencies for transmission then de-spreads it into the
original data bandwidth at the receive.
 Spread spectrum is characterized by:
wide bandwidth and
low power
Jamming and interference have less effect on Spread
spectrum because it is:
Resembles noise
Hard to detect
Hard to intercept

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
 Modulation technique ,Also known as
direct sequence code division multiple
access (DS-CDMA)
 The name 'spread spectrum' comes from the
fact that the carrier signals occur over the
full bandwidth (spectrum) of a device's
transmitting frequency.
 A RF carrier and pseudo-random pulse train
are mixed to make a noise like wide-band
signal.
08/01/14 10
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
• XOR the signal with pseudonoise (PN) sequence (chipping
sequence)
• Advantages
– reduces frequency selective
fading
– in cellular networks
• base stations can use the
same frequency range
• several base stations can
detect and recover the signal
• But, needs precise power control

Direct  sequence  contrasts  with  the  other 
spread  spectrum  process,  known  as 
frequency  hopping  spread  spectrum,  in 
which  a  broad  slice  of  the  bandwidth 
spectrum  is  divided  into  many  possible 
broadcast frequencies. 
In  general,  frequency-hopping  devices  use 
less  power  and  are  cheaper,  but  the 
performance of DS-CDMA systems is usually 
better and more reliable.

Optimum Detection of DS/SS PSK
• Recall, bipolar signaling (PSK) and white noise
give the optimum error probability
• Not effected by spreading
– Wideband noise not affected by spreading
– Narrowband noise reduced by spreading

A DSSS generator:
• To generate a spread spectrum signal one
requires:
1. A modulated signal somewhere in the
RF spectrum
2. A PN sequence to spread it

Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequence
• A pseudo-noise (PN) sequence is a
periodic binary sequence with a noise-like
waveform.
• It is generated by using linear feedback
shift register.
• The main advantages of using PN
sequences are
antijamming,
multipath protection,
multiple access,
message privacy,
identification … etc.
08/01/14 30
PN Sequence Generation
• Codes are periodic and generated by a shift register and
XOR
• Maximum-length (ML) shift register sequences, m-stage

DSSS (Dwell time in FHSS is represented)
08/01/14 39
Systems Behavior
• The following issues will be studied in
parallel for FHSS and DSSS systems:
1.- Systems Collocation
2.- Noise and Interference Immunity
3.- The Near / Far problem
4.- Multipath Immunity
5.- Time and frequency diversity
6.- Throughput
7.- Security
8.- Bluetooth interference
08/01/14 40
1.- Systems Collocation
• The issue: How many independent
systems may operate simultaneously
without interference?
In DSSS systems, collocation could be based
on the use of different spreading codes (sequences(
for each active system
08/01/14 41
2.- Noise and Interference
Immunity
• The issue: Capability of the system to operate
without errors when other radio signals are
present in the same band.
• FHSS systems operate with SNR (Signal to
Noise Ratio) of about 18 dB.
• DSSS systems, because of the more
efficient modulation technique used (PSK), can
operate with SNR as low as 12 dB.
08/01/14 42
3.- Near / Far problem
• The issue: The problems generated to a
FH / D SSS receiver by other active
transmitters located in its proximity, are
known as Near / Far problems.
08/01/14 43
4.- Multipath
• The issue: Environments with reflective
surfaces (such as buildings, office walls,
etc.) generate multiple possible paths
between transmitter and receiver and
therefore the receiver receives multiple
copies of the original (transmitted) signal.
08/01/14 44
5.- Time and frequency diversity
• Both DSSS and FHSS retransmit lost
packets, until the receiving part
acknowledges correct reception. A packet
could be lost because of noises
FHSS systems use “frequency diversity" .
)packets are retransmitted on different frequencies /
hops(.
08/01/14 45
6.- Throughput
• The issue: What amount of data is actually
carried by the system (measured in bps).
6.1.- Single system throughput
6.2.-Aggregate throughput of collocated systems
08/01/14 46
7.- Security
• The issue: Protecting the transmission
against eavesdropping
08/01/14 47
8.- Bluetooth interference
• FHSS are significantly less sensitive to
Bluetooth interference.
48
Frequency Hopping Vs. Direct Sequence
FH systems use a radio carrier that “hops” from
frequency to frequency in a pattern known to both
transmitter and receiver
– Easy to implement
– Resistance to noise
– Limited throughput (2-3 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz)
DS systems use a carrier that remains fixed to a
specific frequency band. The data signal is spread
onto a much larger range of frequencies (at a
much lower power level) using a specific
encoding scheme.
– Much higher throughput than FH (11 Mbps)
– Better range
– Less resistant to noise (made up for by redundancy – it
transmits at least 10 fully redundant copies of the
original signal at the same time)

  • 39. 08/01/14 39 Systems Behavior • The following issues will be studied in parallel for FHSS and DSSS systems: 1.- Systems Collocation 2.- Noise and Interference Immunity 3.- The Near / Far problem 4.- Multipath Immunity 5.- Time and frequency diversity 6.- Throughput 7.- Security 8.- Bluetooth interference
  • 40. 08/01/14 40 1.- Systems Collocation • The issue: How many independent systems may operate simultaneously without interference? In DSSS systems, collocation could be based on the use of different spreading codes (sequences( for each active system
  • 41. 08/01/14 41 2.- Noise and Interference Immunity • The issue: Capability of the system to operate without errors when other radio signals are present in the same band. • FHSS systems operate with SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) of about 18 dB. • DSSS systems, because of the more efficient modulation technique used (PSK), can operate with SNR as low as 12 dB.
  • 42. 08/01/14 42 3.- Near / Far problem • The issue: The problems generated to a FH / D SSS receiver by other active transmitters located in its proximity, are known as Near / Far problems.
  • 43. 08/01/14 43 4.- Multipath • The issue: Environments with reflective surfaces (such as buildings, office walls, etc.) generate multiple possible paths between transmitter and receiver and therefore the receiver receives multiple copies of the original (transmitted) signal.
  • 44. 08/01/14 44 5.- Time and frequency diversity • Both DSSS and FHSS retransmit lost packets, until the receiving part acknowledges correct reception. A packet could be lost because of noises FHSS systems use “frequency diversity" . )packets are retransmitted on different frequencies / hops(.
  • 45. 08/01/14 45 6.- Throughput • The issue: What amount of data is actually carried by the system (measured in bps). 6.1.- Single system throughput 6.2.-Aggregate throughput of collocated systems
  • 46. 08/01/14 46 7.- Security • The issue: Protecting the transmission against eavesdropping
  • 47. 08/01/14 47 8.- Bluetooth interference • FHSS are significantly less sensitive to Bluetooth interference.
  • 48. 48 Frequency Hopping Vs. Direct Sequence FH systems use a radio carrier that “hops” from frequency to frequency in a pattern known to both transmitter and receiver – Easy to implement – Resistance to noise – Limited throughput (2-3 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz) DS systems use a carrier that remains fixed to a specific frequency band. The data signal is spread onto a much larger range of frequencies (at a much lower power level) using a specific encoding scheme. – Much higher throughput than FH (11 Mbps) – Better range – Less resistant to noise (made up for by redundancy – it transmits at least 10 fully redundant copies of the original signal at the same time)
