Reference Text: Introduction to Spread Spectrum Communications by Peterson, Ziemer and Borth

 

Professor: Michael T. Manry

 

Spread spectrum systems are increasing being used in a wide variety of applications. Spread spectrum techniques were originally developed for the military in order to provide secure communication. Civilian applications of spread spectrum techniques have expanded to include the Global Positioning System (GPS), cellular telephone systems, and personal communication systems.

 

In the first part of the course we will review Fourier series, random processes, PCM, FSK and QPSK modulation. For coherent demodulation systems, probabilities of demodulation error will be reviewed in terms of input signal-to-noise ratios. Direct sequence spread spectrum systems will be introduced. In the second part of the course, we will investigate PN code spread spectrum systems. Generators for pseudonoise (PN) sequences, properties of PN sequences, and Gold codes will be covered. The responses of spread spectrum systems to interference will be investigated. In the last part of the course, we will study code acquisition, code tracking, and phase-locked loops.

 

Prerequisite: EE 5362 Digital Communication.
