Interstellar Communication: The Case for Spread Spectrum

Spread spectrum, widely employed in modern digital wireless terrestrial radio systems, chooses a signal with a noise-like character and much higher bandwidth than necessary. This paper advocates spread spectrum modulation for interstellar communication, motivated by robust immunity to radio-frequency interference (RFI) of technological origin in the vicinity of the receiver while preserving ful...

A Chaos-based Spread Spectrum Communication System

We describe the design and CMOS implementation of a baseband spread-spectrum communication system using chaotic signals for spreading digital data. The communication system uses a new chaotic modulation scheme called M-DCSK (Modified Differential Chaos Shift Keying). The M-DCSK scheme and its characteristics are analyzed for single user and multi user applications. Results from a VLSI implement...

Design of a High Range, High Efficiency Spread Spectrum Transmitter for Audio Communication Applications

This work proposes a direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter with high transmission range and efficiency for audio signals. It is shown that by choosing high process gain for spread spectrum signal the data could reach a range of 55km in the 2.4GHz ISM band. By employing a light modulation scheme, we have a relaxed SNR requirement for having a low bit error rate (BER) which translates to re...

Spread Spectrum Based Energy Efficient Collaborative Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks consist of resource limited devices. Most crucial of these resources is battery life, as in most applications like battle field or volcanic area monitoring, it is often impossible to replace or recharge the power source. This article presents an energy efficient collaborative communication system based on spread spectrum to achieve energy efficiency as well as immunity ...
