چکیده
David Garrett and Mircea Stan [email protected], [email protected] University of Virginia, Department of Electrical Engineering AbstractDirect Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transmissions require a despreading stage within the standard receiver block to recover the spread spectrum signal. For long spread spectrum codes, the correlation block can be a large portion of the receiver size, hence a considerable portion of the power consumption. This paper1 looks at two power reduction alternatives for a parallel spread spectrum correlator, by analyzing the algorithm and designing a baseline correlator and by investigating how to streamline the arithmetic operations in one case, and optimizing the sample storage in the other. The two correlator designs are compared with a mix of analytical techniques and simulation data to determine the optimal correlator alternative for the DSSS application. The final analysis shows that the register file based correlator can reduce the power by over 30% for bus widths greater then 6 by using a structure which maintains the multi-bit data samples in a static area and by rotating the single bit coefficients around the data with a circular shift register.

متن کاملRecursive all-lag reference-code correlator and its efficient implementation
An all-lag reference-code correlator generates an all-lag correlation vector at a rate equal to the rate of incoming data samples. Direct implementation of an all-lag reference-code correlator requires N parallel correlators, and the resultant degree of complexity is of the order N 2 , where N is the length of the reference code. This paper derives a recursive form for the all-lag reference-cod...
متن کاملEfficient Implementation of Cross-Correlation in Hardware
Low-area matched filter and correlator designs are explored in this thesis, for ADC resolutions of 1and 2-bits. Correlators are used extensively in spread-spectrum communication technologies, where they serve as a means of detecting a known pseudo-random sequence (PN code). The correlator designs presented here are intended for direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio, where the data to be ...
متن کاملDesign 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...
متن کاملSpread spectrum watermarking: malicious attacks and counterattacks
Most watermarking methods for images and video have been proposed are based on ideas from spread spectrum radio communications, namely additive embedding of a (signal adaptive or non-adaptive) pseudo-noise watermark pattern, and watermark recovery by correlation. Even methods that are not presented as spread spectrum methods often build on these principles. Recently, some scepticism about the r...
