  2Spread-Spectrum Communication
- Since 1940 is in use for military purposes 
 -  excellent immunity to interference and 
intentional jamming  - This technique, as the name implies, spreads the 
signal over a broader spectrum of frequencies 
than is usual  - By using a smaller portion of a greater 
bandwidth, less interference is produced between 
competing signals  
  3Types of Spread-Spectrum Systems
- There are Three important types of 
spread-spectrum systems  - Frequency-hopping 
 - Direct-sequence 
 - Time hoping 
 
  4Frequency-Hopping Systems
- Frequency-hopping systems are the simpler of the 
three systems available  - A frequency generator is used that generates a 
carrier that changes frequency many times a 
second according to a programmed sequence of 
channels known as pseudo-random (PN) noise 
sequence  - It is called this because if the sequence is not 
known, the frequencies appear to hop about 
unpredictably  - Two Types I) Fast FH ii) Slow FH 
 
  5Direct-Sequence Systems
- The data to be transmitted is combined with the 
PN  - Direct-sequence systems inject pseudo-random 
noise (PN) into the bit stream that has a much 
higher rate than the actual data to be 
communicated  - The PN bits are inverted when real data is 
represented by a one and leave the bit stream 
unchanged when a data zero is transmitted  - The extra bits transmitted this way are called 
chips  - Most direct-sequence systems use a chipping rate 
of at least ten times the bit rate  
  6Direct-Sequence Spectrum
- The use of high-speed PN sequence results in an 
increase in the bandwidth of the signal, 
regardless of the modulation scheme used to 
encode the signal  
  7Reception of Spread-Spectrum Signals
- For a frequency-hopped signal, a conventional 
narrowband receiver is needed that hops in the 
same way and is synchronized to the transmitter  - The type of receiver used for spread-spectrum 
signals depends upon how the signal is generated  - One way to synchronize the signals is to transmit 
a tone on a prearranged channel at the start of 
each transmission before it begins hopping  - A more reliable method is to for the transmitter 
to visit several channels in a prearranged order 
before beginning a normal transmission  
  8Reception of Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum
- Direct-sequence spread-spectrum transmissions 
require a wideband receiver with autocorrelation 
incorporated into it  - Autocorrelation involves multiplying the the 
received signal by a signal generated at the 
receiver from the PN code  - When the input signal corresponds to the PN code, 
the output will be large at other times, the 
output will be small  
  9What is a CDMA?
Code division Multiple Access is a digital 
technology pioneered by QUALCOMM that provides 
crystal clear voice quality in new generation 
wireless communication systems
CDMA provides better and most cost 
effective Voice quality Privacy System 
capacity Flexibility. SMS E-mail Internet

 12Classification of wireless Communication systems
Simplex( one direction e.g paging) Half-duplex(on
e way Comm.same frequency for TX and Rx , Push to 
talk) Full Duplex i)FDD( two separate 
Channel) ii)TDD(Same channel on different TS) 
 13Features and Advantages of CDMA
 Universal Frequency Reuse Fast and accurate 
Power Control Rake Receiver CDMA Hand off  
 14FDMA/TDMA Frequency Reuse Frequency Reuse
A reuse pattern of 7 (N7) is common in
FDMA/TDMA
Cellular Systems
Only
1/7 of a carrier's frequency allocation
is used in any one cell 
 15FDMA/TDMA Frequency Reuse 
 16CD CDMA MA Frequency Reuse
The principal attribute of a CDMA system is that
all subscribers can use the same
Universal frequency reuse applies
not only to users in the same cell,
but also to those in all other cells 
 17CDMA Frequency Reuse
Universal frequency reuse completely
eliminates the need for frequency planning
and gives
considerable increase in system capacity

 19CDMA Power Control
without
CDMA will not work
an effective power control
because of the
near-far problem
Near far problem arises when 
near a cell
jams
that is distant from the cell
a user
(assuming both are transmitting at the same power) 
 20Power Control 
 21Power Control
CDMA capacity is maximised
if all users are controlled
so that
their signals reach the base station
at approximately the same power level

narrowband less than 10 KHz
The information signal is
The energy from this narrowband signal is spread 
over a
much larger bandwidth
by multiplying the information signal by a
wideband
spreading code 
 25Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum 
 26CDMA Rake Receiver
Signals sent over the air can take either
a direct path to the receiver
or
they can bounce off objects
and then travel to the receiver 
 27Multipaths 
 28Multipaths
multi-paths
These different paths called
can result in the receiver getting
several versions of the same signal
but at
slightly different times
