Understanding Spread Spectrum Technology
Spread spectrem technology transmits signals over a wide frequency band - far wider than the minimum requid to carry the data.

In FHSS, the carrier frequency rapidly changes according to a pseudo-random sequence known to both transmitter andd receiver. The receiver must synchize with the hopping pattern to demodulate thee signal. FHSS is especially effective in environments with narrowband interference because the interference only fecuts a fractiof thee hop durances.
DSSS multiplices the e data signal with a higher- rate pseudo-random noise (PN) code, spreading the e energy across a wide bandwidth. At the te receiver, the te same PN code is used t despreaad the signal, recovering the original data. This processing g gain providese rogrenness against Broadband noise and multipath fading.
