# 2.1 Fundamental Principles of Spread Spectrum Communication
Spread spectrum communication is a technique that enhances communication resistance to interference and confidentiality by expanding the signal bandwidth to a much broader extent than its original bandwidth. The fundamental principles are as follows:
- **Bandwidth Expansion:** Widens the original signal's bandwidth to a broader frequency band known as the spread spectrum bandwidth.
- **Pseudorandom Sequence:** Utilizes a pseudorandom sequence (PN code) to modulate the original signal, spreading the signal energy across the entire spread spectrum bandwidth.
- **Correlation Processing:** The receiver performs correlation processing using the same PN code as the sender, demodulating the spread signal back into the original signal.
# 2. Theoretical Foundations of Spread Spectrum Communication Systems
### 2.1 Fundamental Principles of Spread Spectrum Communication
#### 2.1.1 Advantages and Limitations of Spread Spectrum Communication
**Advantages:**
- **Strong Interference Resistance:** By dispersing signal energy across a wider frequency band, the power spectral density of the signal is reduced, making it difficult for interference signals to be identified and separated.
- **Good Confidentiality:** Since the spread spectrum signal's bandwidth is much larger than the information bandwidth, it is challenging for interceptors to extract useful information from the broadband signal.
- **Multi-Access Capability:** Spread spectrum communication systems allow multiple users to communicate simultaneously within the same frequency band by using different spread spectrum codes to distinguish between users.
**Limitations:**
- **High Bandwidth Consumption:** Spread spectrum communication requires the occupation of a relatively wide frequency band, which could interfere with other wireless systems.
- **High Power Consumption:** Spread spectrum communication systems need to transmit signals across a wide frequency band, increasing power consumption.
- **Complex Implementation:** Spread spectrum communication systems involve complex modulation and demodulation technologies, increasing the difficulty and cost of implementation.
#### 2.1.2 Modulation Techniques in Spread Spectrum Communication
The main modulation techniques used in spread spectrum communication are:
***Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS):** Directly performs an XOR operation between the information bit sequence and a pseudorandom sequence (PN code), then modulates the spread spectrum signal onto a carrier using a modulator.
***Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FH-SS):** Allocates the information bit sequence across multiple carriers, then hops between these carriers based on a pseudorandom sequence.
### 2.2 Spread Spectrum Communication System Models
#### 2.2.1 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum System Model
The direct sequence spread spectrum system model is shown below:
```mermaid
graph LR
subgraph Sender
A[Information Source] --> B[Spreader] --> C[Modulator]
end
subgraph Receiver
D[Demodulator] --> E[Despreader] --> F[Information Receiver]
end
A --> B
B --> C
D --> E
E --> F
```
**Parameter Descriptions:**
***Information Source:** Produces the information bit sequence to be transmitted.
***Spreader:** Performs an XOR operation between the information bit sequence and the PN code to generate the spread spectrum signal.
***Modulator:** Modulates the spread spectrum signal onto the carrier.
***Demodulator:** Demodulates the received signal to restore the spread spectrum signal.
***Despreader:** Performs an XOR operation between the spread spectrum signal and the PN code to restore the information bit sequence.
***Information Receiver:** Receives the restored information bit sequence.
#### 2.2.2 Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum System Model
The frequency hopping spread spectrum system model is shown below:
```mermaid
graph LR
subgraph Sender
A[Information Source] --> B[Spreader] --> C[Modulator]
end
subgraph Receiver
D[Demodulator] --> E[Despreader] --> F[Information Receiver]
end
A --> B
B --> C
D --> E
E --> F
```
**Parameter Descriptions:**
***Information Source:** Produces the information bit sequence to be transmitted.
