Abstract

Spread spectrum techniques, which are included in this chapter, are techniques by which a digital signal generated with a particular bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency domain, which gives the set of techniques this name. These techniques are used primarily to establish a means of secure communications, and in their early days, they were used by the military for their communication needs, since these techniques result in a signal which has enhanced resistance to natural interference, noise and jamming. These techniques are presently also used for civilian applications, especially mobile communications.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The autocorrelation function of a function is \(R(\tau )=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }f(t)f(t+\tau )dt\) and is different from the autocorrelation function of a random process.

  2. 2.

    The increase of bandwidth by the addition of the bandwidths of two functions is a property of the convolution process as is in the case of Problem 9 of Sect. 2.19.1.

  3. 3.

    Section 11.8.2, Numerical Problem 8.

  4. 4.

    See also Problem 7 which shows the spectral broadening for N pulses.

  5. 5.

    Given in Chap. 10.

  6. 6.

    See Sect. 10.9.

  7. 7.

    Given in Chap. 10.

  8. 8.

    As in Example 11.1.
