Recall
Bandwidth is a scarce and expensive resource
Primary design objective: Minimize the required transmission BW maximize BW efficiency
Spread spectrum systems: use transmission BW much greater than minimum required BW
BW inefficient for a single userBUT, with spread spectrum, several users can
share the same BW without significantly interfering with one another
With multiple users sharing the same BW, spread spectrum systems exhibit high spectral efficiency

Spread spectrum advantagesResistance to narrowband interference &
jammingSecurity – signal can be hidden below the noise
floor making it difficult to be detected and intercepted
Spread spectrum receivers can be designed such that multipath can be used to advantage – reducing ISI
Transmitted power is spread over a wide frequency band – low PSD SS systems cause minimal interference to other narrowband systems
Allows multiple users to operate in the same frequency band with minimal interference

Spread spectrum - terminology
Signal of BW = Rs
Spreading operation
Spreading signal BW = Rc
>> Rs
Processing gain Gp = Rc/Rs
Also called as spreading factor or expansion factor
Gp represents the factor by which interference is
suppressed relative to the desired signal, when operating
in the same band
Gp is of the order of 100 to 1000 in commercial applications and
up to a million in military applications

Narrowband vs Spread spectrum
Narrowband transmission – easy to intercept and jam
Spread signal is embedded below the noise floor – hard to detect and intercept
Signal is spread over a wide frequency band – difficult to jam
Low PSD – does not interfere with other narrowband systems

Spread spectrum modulation
txb =dt x pnt

Spread Spectrum Demodulation
dr =rxb x pnr
For sync
pnr = pnt

Spreading and de-spreading
Spreading
For a receiver to decode the transmitted sequence, it must multiply the received sequence with the same pseudo-random code that was used at the transmitter pnr = pnt
If pnr ≠ pnt, there is no de-spreading action
A receiver that does not know pnt, cannot reproduce the transmitted data

De-spreadingDespread dataAssuming error free channel rxb = txb
PN sequence selected such that auto-correlation is maximum
Therefore, dr = dt
If pnr ≠ pnt
PN sequence selected such that

Spread spectrum in the presence of interference
Consider transmitting a spread spectrum signal txb
Received signal rxb is transmitted signal plus interference i.e.
To recover the original signal, multiply the received data with the same PN sequence used at the transmitter
Since pnt x pnt =1,
Multiplying the interfering signal i with pnt spreads the interfering signal, thereby lowering its power density
After de-spreading, data is narrowband (Rs) and interference is wideband (Rc)
LPF is used to extract the desired data and filter off most of the interference

Spread spectrum with narrowband interference

Spread spectrum with wideband interference
Source of wideband interference – Other SS users operating in the same frequency band (multiple access) &Gaussian Noise
![Page 15: Spread Spectrum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/55cf989a550346d033989944/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PN SequencesChoice of proper PN sequences is important
for spread spectrum systemsAuto-correlation must be maximum for
perfect synchronization of two identical sequences
Autocorrelation is a measure of agreement between a sequence and time shifted versions of itself
![Page 16: Spread Spectrum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/55cf989a550346d033989944/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PN SequencesCross-correlation must be zero (ideally) for all
shifts of two different codes orthogonalIn practice, codes are not perfectly orthogonalCross-correlation must therefore be as small
as possible to avoid performance degradation
Multiple users share the same frequency spectrum and are distinguished by their respective PN codes
For large number of users sharing the spectrum, PN codes must be chosen carefully to avoid interference between users
Cross-correlation is a measure of agreement between two different codes pni and pnj It defines the interference between codes pni and pnj

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)Multiplexing users by distinct (orthogonal
codes)
Each user has its own PN code and uses the same BW
All active users transmit simultaneously
![Page 18: Spread Spectrum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/55cf989a550346d033989944/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CDMA
Suppose user 1’s data is required at the receiverMultiply received signal with pn1
Only user 1’s data is de-spread. All other users produce noise for user 1
![Page 19: Spread Spectrum](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/55cf989a550346d033989944/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Power control in CDMAEach user is a source of noise for other usersIf more power is received from an undesired user, it
contributes more noisePower control is necessary in CDMA to ensure
received signal (at the BS) from all users is of the same power
If all users transmit the same power, signal from a nearby receiver will be stronger than signal from far-away receiver – NEAR-FAR problem
Transmit power of all users is controlled such that received signal from all users is same (Prx)
If there are N simultaneous users, there are (N-1) interferers
As N increases, SNR decreases BER increases

Multipath rejection in CDMA
τ – time delay between the two pathsReceiver PN code synchronized with PN code corresponding to direct pathReceiver PN code will be out of sync with the reflected path PN code by an amount τpn(t) x pn(t-τ) will be very small for τ greater than one chip interval Un-correlated paths do not contribute to multipath fadingMultipath signal not synchronized with receiver PN code are therefore rejected
