Broadcast Capability of Direct Sequence and Hybrid Spread Spectrum

Detection of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signals

Since early experimentation in the late 1800’s, wireless communication has become increasingly important and has been widely adopted by civilian and military markets worldwide. The proliferation of wireless communication systems presents new challenges, threats and opportunities for society and government institutions. Although the possibility of infringing privacy laws exist, electronic survei...

Convolutional Coded Generalized Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

In this thesis we investigate the worst-case performance of coded ordinary and coded generalized direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) systems in a communication channel corrupted by an unknown and arbitrary interfering signal of bounded power. We consider convolutional codes with Viterbi decoding in order to compare the performance of coded ordinary and coded generalized DSSS systems. For the...

High-rate Direct-sequence Spread Spectrum

Direct-sequence spread spectrum is popular for commercial wireless local-area networks, because license-free operation is permitted in certain frequency bands. The extensive development of equipment for such applications makes it attractive to investigate the use of the commercial technology for military communication networks. However, because of the small processing gain that is common in the...

On cracking direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems

Secure transmission of information over hostile wireless environments is desired by both military and civilian parties. Direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) is such a covert technique resistant to interference, interception and multipath fading. Identifying spread-spectrum signals or cracking DS-SS systems by an unintended receiver (or eavesdropper) without a priori knowledge is a challengin...
