    Study Notes

    Code Sequence and Properties

    • Code sequence is a periodic sequence of logical 1s and 0s.
    • The sequence often follows a pseudo-random order.
    • Transitions between 0 and 1 are possible at specific time moments.
    • Time moments are defined by tᵢ = iTₜ, where Tₛ = nT₁, and n is a large value.
    • A logical "1" corresponds to U = 1.
    • A logical "0" corresponds to U = −1.
    • Rₖ = 1/Tₜ, represents the chip rate.

    Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR)

    • An LFSR is a sequence generator using an n-column shift register.
    • The maximum (longest) sequence generated by an LFSR of n columns is 2ⁿ⁻¹.
    • The length of the binary maximum sequence is 2ⁿ⁻¹ clock periods.
    • The n-column register contains n stages (D₁ to Dₙ).
    • An equation to represent the data output is S(f) = U 2Tₜ sin²(πfT₁).

    Properties of m-Sequences

    • The number of "1"s equals the number of "0"s plus 1.
    • Statistical distribution of "1"s and "0"s is well-defined.
    • Autocorrelation function is -1 for all shifts, but +1 for shifts of ±1 chip period (varies linearly within range −1...2ⁿ⁻¹).
    • Summing the sequence with a time displacement results in the same sequence with a time shift, that does not coincide with any other original sequence.

    Code Autocorrelation and Cross-Correlation

    • Autocorrelation function Ψ(r) = ∫₀ f(t)f(t − r)dt
    • For binary bipolar sequences (P(t) = ±1) and code offsets (rᵢ = iTₜ).
    • Ψ(r) = Coincidences - Σ Discrepancies.
    • 7-chip code example provided.

    m-Sequence Autocorrelation Function

    • Useful in determining signal propagation delay, suppressing inter-symbol interference.
    • Less useful for synchronization with long sequence periods.

    m-Sequence Cross-Correlation Function

    • Cross-correlation function Ψ(r) = ∫₀ f(t)g(t − r)dt for binary bipolar sequences.
    • Ψ(r) = Σ Coincidences - Σ Discrepancies for code offsets rᵢ = iTₜ.
    • Example using 7-chip codes 1110100 and 1110010 is given.

    Linear Summation of Codes

    • Adding m-sequences (with the same or differing phases) can produce maximal output in specific cases.
    • If the sequences have the same length but different phases , the result is a sequence similar to the input.
    • If lengths differ the results in non-maximal sequences.

    Autocorrelation Function of Nonmaximal Code

    • Non-maximal codes are frequently used for distinguishing signals from the background of other signals.
    • Gold codes have low cross-correlation.
    • JPL codes are suitable for rapid synchronization.
    • Orthogonal codes eliminate unused signals in multiply compressed signals.

    Insertion of Information into DSSS Signal

    • Modifying a code sequence with an information signal.
    • Used in BFSK, QPSK.
    • The process involves summing data and code sequence according to modulus 2.

    • Components include data synchronization, coder, bipolar PN sequence generator, carrier generator, BPSK modulator

    DSSS Signal Modulator - Multiple Sources

    • Block diagram for multiple data inputs.
    • Uses Orthogonal codes to effectively eliminate interference.
    • Uses spreading with Orthogonal codes to avoid interference and simplify synchronization.

    • Example parameters for efficiency calculation (bandwidth, multiplexing, S/I).

    CDMA System Efficiency

    • Formulas for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with multiple CDMA users.
    • Formulas to calculate the maximum number of active users based on Eb/No.
    • Calculations for single-user conditions and interference dominance.
