Direct-sequence spread spectrum

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 213.253.40.54 (talk) at 11:40, 31 March 2002 (see also Frequency-hopping spread spectrum). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In telecommunication, the term direct-sequence spread spectrum has the following meanings:

1. A system (a) for generating spread-spectrum transmissions by phase-modulating a sine wave pseudorandomly with a continuous string of pseudonoise code symbols, each of duration much smaller than a bit and (b) that may be time-gated, where the transmitter is keyed periodically or randomly within a specified time interval.

2. A signal structuring technique utilizing a digital code sequence having a chip rate much higher than the information signal bit rate. Each information bit of a digital signal is transmitted as a pseudorandom sequence of chips.
