There are books and websites on the subject, but many are hard to understand or describe some aspects while ignoring others(e.g., the DSSS technique with extensive focus on PRN-code generation).The following discussion covers the full spectrum(pun intended).A Short HistorySpread-spectrum communications technology was first described on paper by an actress and a musician! In 1941 Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr and pianist George Antheil described a secure radio link to control torpedoes. They received U.S. Patent #2.292.387.The technology was not taken seriously at that time by the U.S. Army and was forgotten until the 1980s, when it became active. Since then the technology has become increasingly popular for application that involve radio links in hostile environments.Typical applications for the resulting short-range data transceivers include satellite-positioning systems GPS，3G mobile telecommunications, W-LAN(IEEE802.11a,IEEE 802.11b,IEEE 802.11g),and Bluetooth. Spread-spectrum techniques also aid in the endless race between communication needs and radio-frequency availability-situations where the radio spectrum is limited and is, therefore, an expensive resource.Theoretical Justification for Spread Spectrum Spread-spectrum is apparent in the Shannon and Hartley channel-capacity theorem: C=Blog2(1+S/N) (Eq.1)In this equation, C is the channel capacity in bits per second (bps), which is the maximum data rate for a theoretical bit-error rate (BER). B is the required channel bandwidth in Hz, and S/N is the signal-to-noise power ratio. To be more explicit, one assumes that C, which represents the amount of information allowed by the communication channel, also represents the desired performance. Bandwidth (B) is the price to be paid, because frequency is a limited resource. The S/N ratio expresses the environmental conditions or the physical characteristics (i.e., obstacles ,presence of jammers ,interferences, etc.).There is an elegant interpretation of this equation, applicable for difficult environments, for example, when a low S/N ratio is caused by noise and interference. This approach says that one can maintain or even increase communication performance (high C) by allowing or injecting more bandwidth (high B), even when signal power is below the noise floor. (The equation does not forbid that condition!)Modify Equation 1 by changing the log base from 2 to e (the Napier Ian number) and by noting that in=loge.Therefore:C/B= (1/ln2) ln(1+S/N)=1.443ln(1+S/N) (Eq.2)Applying the MacLaurin series development forln(1+x)=x-x2/2+x3/3-x4/4+(-1)k+1xk/k+:C/B=1.443(S/N-1/2(S/N)2+1/3(S/N)3-) (Eq.3)S/N is usually low for spread-spectrum applications. (As just mentioned, the signal power density can even be below the noise level.) Assuming a noise level such that S/N 1, Shannons expression becomes simply:C/B1.443S/N (Eq.4)Very roughly:C/NS/N (Eq.5)Or:N/SB/C (Eq.6)To send error-free information for a given noise-to-signal ratio in the channel, therefore, one need only performs the fundamental spread-spectrum signal-spreading operation: increase the transmitted bandwidth. That principle seems simple and evident. Nonetheless, implementation is complex, mainly because spreading the baseband (by a factor that can be several orders of magnitude) forces the electronics to act and react accordingly, which, in turn, makes the spreading and dispreading operations necessary.DefinitionsDifferent spread-spectrum techniques are available, but all have one idea in common: the key (also called the code or sequence) attached to the communication channel. The manner of inserting this code defines precisely the spread-spectrum technique. The term spread spectrum refers to the expansion of signal bandwidth, by several orders of magnitude in some cases, which occurs when a key is attached to the communication channel.The formal definition of spread spectrum is more precise: an RF communications system in which the baseband signal bandwidth is intentionally spread over a larger bandwidth by injecting a higher frequency signal (Figure 1).As a direct consequence, energy used in transmitting the signal is spread over a wider bandwidth, and appears as noise. The ratio (in dB) between the spread baseband and the original signal is called processing gain. Typical spread-spectrum processing gains run from 10dB to 60dB.To apply a spread-spectrum technique, simply inject the corresponding spread-spectrum code somewhere in the transmitting chain before the antenna (receiver).Conversely, you can remove the spread-spectrum code (called a dispreading operation) at a point in the receive chain before data retrieval. A dispreading operation reconstitutes the information into its original bandwidth. Obviously, the same code must be known in advance at both ends of the transmission channel. (In some circumstances, the code should be known only by those two parties.)Figure 1.Spread-spectrum communication systemBandwidth Effects of the Spreading OperationFigure 2 illustrates the evaluation of signal bandwidths in a communication link.Figure 2.Spreading operation spreads the signal energy over a wider frequency bandwidth.Spread-spectrum modulation is applies on top of a conventional modulation such as BPSK or direct conversion. One can demonstrate that all other signals not receiving the spread-spectrum code will remain ad they are, that is, unspread.Bandwidth Effects of the Dispreading Operation Similarly, dispreading can be seen in Figure 3.Figure 3. The dispreading operation recovers the original signal.Here a spread-spectrum demodulation has been made on top of the normal demodulation operations. One can also demonstrate that signals such as an interferer or jammer added during the transmission will be spread during the dispreading operation!Waste of Bandwidth Due to Spreading Is Offset by Multiple UsersSpreading results directly in the use of a wider frequency band by a factor that corresponds exactly to the processing gain mentioned earlier. Therefore spreading does not spare the limited frequency resource. That overuse is well compensated, however by the possibility that many users will share the enlarged frequency band (Figure 4).Figure 4. The same frequency band can be shared by multiple Users with spread-spectrum techniques.Spread Spectrum Is a Wideband Technology In contrast to regular narrowband technology, the spread-spectrum process is a wideband technology. W-CDMA and UMTS, for example, are wideband technologies that require a relatively large frequency bandwidth, compared to narrowband radio.Benefits of Spread Spectrum Resistance to Interference and Ant jamming EffectsThere are many benefits to spread-spectrum technology. Resistance to interference is the most important advantage. Intentional or unintentional interference and jamming signals are rejected because they do not contain the spread-spectrum key. Only the desired signal, which has the key, will be seen at the receiver when the dispreading operation is exercised. See Figure 5.Figure 5. A spread-spectrum communication system. Note that the interferers energy is spread while the data signal is dispread in the receive chain.You can practically ignore the interference, narrowband or wideband, if it does not include the key used in the dispreading operation. That rejection also applies to other spread-spectrum signals that do not have the right key. Thus different spread-spectrum communications can be active simultaneously in the same band, such as CDMA. Note that spread-spectrum is a wideband technology, but the reverse is not true: wideband techniques need not involve spread-spectrum technology.Resistance to Interception Resistance to interception is the second advantage provided by spread-spectrum techniques. Because no authorized listeners do not have the key used to spread the original signal, those listeners cannot decode it. Without the right key, the spread-spectrum signal appears as noise or as an interferer. Scanning methods can break the code, however, if the key is short.) Even better, signal levels can be below the noise floor, because the spreading operation reduces the spectral density. See Figure 6. (Total energy is the same, but it is widely spread in frequency.) The message is thus made invisible, an effect that is particularly strong with the direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technique. (DSSS is discussed in greater detail below.) Other receivers cannot “see” the transmission; they only register a slight increase in the overall noise level!Figure 6.Spread-spectrum signal is buried under noise level. The receiver cannot see the transmission without the right spread-spectrum keys.Resistance to Fading (Multipath Effects)Wireless channels often include multiple-path propagation in which the signal has more than one path from the transmitter to the receiver (Figure 7).Such multipath can be caused by atmospheric reflection or refraction, and by reflection from the ground or from objects such as buildings.Figure 7.Illustration of how the signal can reach the receiver over multiple paths.The reflected path (R) can interfere with the direct path (D) in a phenomenon called fading. Because the dispreading process synchronizes to signal D, signal R is rejected even though it contains the same key. Methods are available to use the reflected-path signals by dispreading them and adding the extracted results to the main one.Spread Spectrum Allows CDMANote that spread spectrum is not a modulation scheme, and should not be confused with other types of modulation. One can, for example, use spread-spectrum techniques to transmit a signal modulated by PSK or BPSK. Thanks to the coding basis, spread spectrum can also be used as another method for implementing multiple access (i.e., the real or apparent coexistence of multiple and simultaneous communication links on the same physical media).So far, three main methods are available.FDMA-Frequency Division Multiple AccessFDMA allocates a specific carrier frequency to a communication channel. The number of different users is limited to the number of “slices” in the frequency spectrum (Figure 8).Of the three methods for enabling multiple access, FDMA is the least efficient in term of frequency-band usage. Methods of FDMA access include radio broadcasting, TV, AMPS, and TETRAPOLE. Figure 8.Carrier-frequency allocations among different users in a FDMA system.TDMA-Time Division Multiple Access With TDMA the different users speak and listen to each other according to a defined allocation of time slots (Figure 9).Different communication channels can then be established for a unique carrier frequency. Examples of TDMA are GSM, DECT, TETRA, and IS-136.Figure 9. Time-slot allocations among different users in a TDMA system.CDMA-Code Division Multiple AccessCDMA access to the air is determined by a key or code (Figure 10).In that since, spread spectrum is a CDMA access. The key must be defined and known in advance at the transmitter and receiver ends. Growing examples are IS-95 (DS), IS-98, Bluetooth, and WLAN.扩频通信系统的介绍简介扩频技术越来越受欢迎，就连这一领域以外的电器工程师都渴望能够深入理解这一技术。很多书和网站上都有关于这方面的书，但是，很多都很难理解或描述的不够详尽。（例如，直接序列扩频技术广泛关注的是伪随机码的产生）。下面讨论扩频技术（双关语意）。简史一名女演员和一名音乐家首次以书面形式描述了扩频通信技术。1941年，好莱坞女星Hedy Lamarr和钢琴家George Antheil描述一个安全的无线链路来控制鱼雷。他们获得了美国专利#2.292.387。但这一技术被遗忘了，没有在当时受到美军的重视，直到20世纪80年代它才开始活跃起来。从那时起，这一技术在有关恶劣环境中的收音机链接方面越来越受欢迎。最典型的扩频技术应用是数据收发器包括卫星定位系统（GPS）、3G移动通信、无限局域网(符合IEEE802.11a,IEEE 802.11b,IEEE 802.11g标准)，还有蓝牙技术也帮助了那些通讯落后和无线电通信条件有限的地方，因此，它是一种昂贵的资源。扩频通信的原理扩频是香农定理的典型：C=Blog2(1+S/N) 公式（1）在公式中，C为信道容限，单位是比特/秒(bps),意指单位时间内信道中无差错传输的最大信息量。B为信号频带宽度，单位是Hz，S/N为信噪比。也就是说，C为信道允许通过的信息量，也代表了扩频的性能。带宽(B)是代价，因为频率是一个有限的资源。信噪比体现了环境条件或物理特性（如障碍、干扰器、干扰等）。上式说明，的情况下，在无差错传输的信息速率C不变时，如果信噪比很低，则可以用足够宽的带宽来传输信号，即使信号功率密度低于噪音水平。（公式可用！）改变公式（1）中对数的底数，2改为e，则为In=loge。因此，C/B=(1/ln2)ln(1+S/N)=1.443ln(1+S/N) 公式（2） 根据MacLaurin扩展公式ln(1+x)=x-x2/2+x3/3-x4/4+(-1)k+1xk/k+:C/B=1.443(S/N-1/2(S/N)2+1/3(S/N)3-) 公式（3）在扩频应用中，通常S/N很低。（正如刚才提到的，信号功率密度甚至低于噪音水平。）假定噪音水平即S/N1，香农公式可简单表示为：C/B1.443S/N 公式（4）简化为：C/NS/N 公式（5）或者：N/SB/C 公式（6）向固定了信噪比的信道发送错误的信息，只要执行基本扩频信号的传播操作：增加传输带宽。尽管这一原则看起来很简单明确，但实现她却很复杂，主要是因为展宽基带的电子设备必须同时存在展宽和解扩的操作过程。定义不同的扩频技术都有一个共同之处：密钥（也称为代码或序列）依附于传输信道。以插入代码的形式准确地定义扩频技术，术语“频谱扩展”是指扩频信号的几个数量级的带宽在有密钥的传输信道中的扩展。以传统的方式定义扩频更为精确：在射频通信系统中，将基带信号扩展为比原有信号的带宽宽得多的高频信号（如图1）。在此过程中，传输宽带信号产生的损耗，表现为噪声。扩频信号带宽与信息带宽之比称为处理增益。扩频过程的处理增益大都在10dB 到60dB之间。要应用扩频技术，只需在天线（接收器）之前加入相应的扩频码。相反，你可以删除一个点的扩频码（称为解扩操作）接收发射链路数据恢复。解扩过程是重新恢复原始带宽的过程。很明显，同样的代码必须在事先知道在传输通道两端的信息。（在某些情况下，在调制和解调的过程中代码应该是知道的）。 输电链扩频代码接收链扩频代码数据输入射频输出射频输入RF IN射频连接相同的配置序列数据输出图1.扩频通信系统传播工作带宽的影响图2说明了信号带宽的通信链路评估输入的扩频码频率数据的处理增益数据输入宽度扩频调制数据输入能量能量PF载体图2.扩频操作遍及一个更宽的频率带宽的信息能量扩频调制是一种适用于如BPSK或直接转换。传统的调制可以证明所有其他信号接收不到扩频代码将保持它们原有的信息，极没有被扩展。解扩过程中带宽的影响同样，解扩过程如图3。能量数据输入宽度数据输入解扩调制能量输入的扩频码数据的处理增益PF载体频率图3,在解扩过程中恢复的原有信号 在这里，解扩调制已经取得了正常解调操作，也表明了干扰或干扰信号在解扩传输过程中被扩展！由于带宽的浪费抵消了传播的多用户,扩频结果直接在一个更宽的频带使用，完全对应之前的“处理增益”。 因此扩频并没有节约有限的频率资源。过度的使用虽然得到了补偿，但是可能有很多用户共享这一扩大频率波段（如图4）。用户1+用户2+用户3+用户N数据输入获得的扩频增益图4.在相同的频带多个用户共享扩频技术。扩频是宽带技术,相对于常规窄带技术，扩频过程是一种宽带技术。例如，W - CDMA和UMTS都是宽带技术，与窄带广播相比，它需要一个比较大的频率带宽。扩频的优点、抗干扰性能和抗干扰的影响扩频技术有很多优点。抗干扰性是最重要的一个优点。有意或无意的干扰和干扰信号都是不希望存在的因为它们不包含扩频密钥。只有期望信号才有密钥，在解扩过程中才会被接收器接收，如图5。输电链扩频代码接收链扩频代码数据输入射频输出射频输入RF IN射频连接数据输出数据 干扰数据扩展和干扰扩展数据扩展数据扩展和干扰图5.扩频通信系统。注意，解扩链路中数据信号被传输的同时干扰能源也被传输。无论在窄带或宽带中，如果它不涉及解扩过程，你几乎可以忽略干扰。这种抑制反应也适用于其他没有正确密钥的扩频信号。因此不同的扩频通信系统可以工作在同一频段，例如CDMA。值得注意的是，扩频是宽带技术，但反之则不然：宽带技术不涉及扩频技术。抗截获抗截获是扩频通信技术的第二个优势。由于非法的听众没有密钥用于原始信号传播，这些听众无法解码。没有合适的钥匙，扩频信号会出现噪音或干扰。（扫描方法可以打破的这些密钥，但是密钥是短暂的。）甚至更好，信号电平可以低于噪声水平，因为扩频传输降低了频谱密度，如图6。（总能量是相同的，但它是广泛存在于频率的。）因此信息是无形的，这一
