DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)

  • DSSS spreads data by multiplying it with a high-rate pseudo-noise (PN) code (chip sequence).
  • Each bit becomes multiple chips, increasing bandwidth and interference resistance.
  • PN code must match at both ends for successful de-spreading.
  • Offers good security, anti-jamming, and signal reliability.

DSSS Transmitter:

  1. Modulation: User data is modulated using BPSK.
  2. Spreading: Modulated signal is multiplied by a high-rate PN sequence to widen the bandwidth.
  3. Transmission: The spread signal is sent over a carrier; each bit becomes multiple chips, improving resistance to interference.

DSSS Receiver:

  1. De-spreading: The received wideband signal is multiplied again by the same PN sequence used at the transmitter to recover the original narrowband signal.
  2. Demodulation: The de-spread signal is demodulated using BPSK to extract the binary data.
  3. Output: The original user data is reconstructed after filtering and decoding.
