Spread Spectrum Systems for GNSS and Wireless Communications

Spread spectrum is an increasingly popular technology used for secure digital communications. It involves spreading signals over a wide range of frequencies, and then collecting them onto their original frequency at the receiver. For this reason, these signals are difficult to intercept or be interfered with. This cutting-edge resource offers a modern treatment of spread spectrum (SS) communications, including direct sequence and frequency hopping. This comprehensive volume presents the principles of design and analysis for all SS systems, and places special emphasis on wireless systems and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). The book considers all the common coherent and non-coherent modulations. Professionals gain an understanding the performance of SS systems under the influence of jamming and with and without coding. Moreover, the book includes details on the synchronization of SS system, including initial acquisition and tracking.Holmes, Jack Kenneth is the author of 'Spread Spectrum Systems for GNSS and Wireless Communications ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781596930834 and ISBN 1596930837.
