13. each bit to be transmitted This bit pattern is called a chip or chipping code The longer the chip is the greater the probability that the original data can be recovered Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission To an unintended receiver 0555 appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected ignored by most narrowband receivers 34 13 What is Spread Spectrum Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable secure mission critical communication systems It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability integrity and security In other words more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission but the trade off produces a signal that is in effect louder and thus easier to detect provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread spectrum signal being broadcast If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency a spread spectrum signal looks like background noise There are two main alternatives Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum DSSS and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum FHSS 35 Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules These limits
