Direct sequence spread spectrum uses a spreading code to spread the original signal's energy over a wider frequency band. It involves spreading the narrowband input signal using a mathematical transform, transmitting it on a carrier, and recovering the original signal using a correlator that reverses the spreading process. The technique spreads the signal using a chipping sequence or pseudorandom noise code, applied to the original data stream. It provides advantages like reducing frequency selective fading and allowing multiple base stations to operate on the same frequency range.
2. Direct sequence transmission
• Another spread spectrum technique .
• Basic approach is to spread the narrow RF energy over a wider
band in a controlled way.
• Each device does the transmission over a fixed channel.
• Basic high level approach is shown below:

3. Direct sequence transmission
✔The Spreader employs an encoding scheme (Barker or
Complementary Code Keying (CCK).
✔The spread signal is then modulated by a carrier.
✔The Correlator reverses this process in order to recover the
original data

ï‚– Basic steps of DSSS technique:
Narrowband radio signal is processed by a spreader
1. spreader applies a mathematical transform which convert
narrowband input to a flat amplitude and spread frequency band.
2. On a carrier, to a narrow band receiver it looks like a low level
noise.
3.The original signal can be recovered with a correlator, which
inverse of the spreading process

ï‚– Basic steps of DSSS technique:
• Direct-sequence modulation works by applying a chipping
sequence to the data stream -> original input.
• Chip is a binary data used in spreading process to encode the
original signal.Chipping streams are also called pseudorandom
noise codes (PN codes).
Advantages –
-reduces frequency selective fading
-in cellular networks
• base stations can use the same
frequency range
• several base stations can detect
and recover the signal
6. DSSS operation
• Higher spreading ratios
• improve the ability to recover the transmitted signal
• Require a higher chipping rate and a larger frequency band.
• Require more expensive RF components operating at the higher
frequency
