This paper presents a Doppler shift estimation method and signal processing schemes for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) transmission to overcome the Doppler shift due to the moving of the underwater communication unit. The proposed method estimates a Doppler shift via 2 step procedures using the preamble with the two 64-length Frank sequences which has a good self-correlation characteristic and is insensitive to the Doppler shift. Furthermore, a packet of DSSS underwater mobile communication and a RAKE receiver are designed using the proposed Doppler shift estimation method. Due to the modulation scheme of the designed DSSS underwater mobile communication using Differential-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) for the data symbol transmission, the RAKE receiver dose not need a phase tracking and easily makes coherent signals among the combining RAKE branches. The designed RAKE receiving scheme including the proposed Doppler shift estimation method successfully decides information data using the DSSS signal transmitted from the pseudo-moving transmitter with velocity upto about 17.5 m/s.

A chaotic spread spectrum communication system using a polar quarternary method is designed and implemented. Four different chaotic signals in the relation of multiplication each other are generated through the use of a coupled synchronization method in the transmitter which is composed of four Chua's circuits. Information is retrieved at the receiver which is connected to the transmitter through the use of a drive synchronization method. Since spread spectrum of information signal is spread by chaotic signal, the configuration of the system is simpler than that of any other conventional system.

In this paper, an adaptive interference excision scheme with multiple adaptive filter bank using an adaptive algorithm is proposed. This scheme suppresses interference in the wavelet packet transform domain for the direct spread spectrum communication systems. Using the Monte-Carlo simulation, we analyze the performance of the direct spread spectrum communication systems with this excision scheme using LMS and RLS adaptive algorithms in AWGN and interference channel.

This paper is technical review about Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum(DSSS) to apply in launch vehicle system. First, we introduce communication protocol(carrier frequency, code length, process gain, data rate, chip rate etc) about several application system using DSSS. And then, we survey and summarize the effect of doppler shift to the DSSS. The doppler shift is important error factor for PN code tracking in the fast moving system like launch vehicle. So, spread spectrum code acquisition technique for a direct sequence system in the presence of doppler effect must be investigated.

The error probability for coherent frequency-hopped spread-spectrum multiple-access communications is computed by using characteristic function method. We employ PSK as a modulation scheme. The channel capacity is performance measure and the minimum bit signal-to-noise ratio for reliable communications is obtained.

This paper covers the detection of covert direct sequence spread spectrum signal without the PN(Pseudo Noise) code information. Due to its low probability of interception, the difficulty of spectrum surveillance increases. Detection parameters are the signal existence of given bandwidth, the length of spreading sequence used by transmitter, and the identification of spreading code for detected chip length. The triple correlation function(TCF) value which is one of the higher order statistical signal processing techniques can be used to detect spread spectrum signal without a prior knowledge, but, it has weakness that TCF results depend on the spread data sequence in actual application. This paper proposes the new scheme that not only overcomes the weakness but also presents better performance than the traditional TCF scheme. The performance comparison of conventional TCF with proposed technique shows that the triple correlation estimator(TCE) has better detection capability.

A power line modem(PLM) which transfers data safely through power lines in houses or small offices is considered. When a power line is used for communications, transmitted signals could be affected by the channel characteristics such as frequency-selective fading, interference, and time-varying attenuation. In order to overcome these impairments, a direct sequence(DS) technique which is well known as an effective instrument against a variety of interferences and hostile channel properties is employed. Using a DS technique, however, requires more circuits such as PN code generator circuits, code modification circuits, and complicated synchronization circuits, and it also results in substantial acquisition delay. In this paper, some of these circuits are implemented via software programmed in the system controller, and the complicated synchronization circuits are replaced by simple circuits utilizing a 60 Hz power signal for synchronization. The synchronization ciruits used in this paper virtually eliminate the substantial acquisition delay, and is also designed to free influence of 60 Hz zero crossing jitters which reside in a power signal. As a result, a PLM using a DS technique is realized in the form of wall-socket plug, and the PLM hardware would be very much simplified.

This paper presents the results of a sea trial for long range underwater acoustic communication conducted in the East Sea in November 2020. Signals were collected through a moving transmitter and 16 vertically arranged receivers, and the range between the transmitter and receiver was about 20 km. The signal in the experiment is a conventional Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) method and a superimposed DSSS method that increases data rate by superimposing of multiple circulated Pseudo Noise (PN) sequences for each symbol. The results show that the uncoded bit error rate averaged over 16 channels to which the channel coding technique was not applied was 0.0005 for the conventional direct sequence spreading method, and was 0.00124 for the superimposed direct sequence spreading method.

In this paper, we propose the trellis coded spread spectrum communication system with one channel signal selection of the subset by the PN code. This paper proposes the Viterbi decoder that have the squared Euclidean distance of the order phase difference as well as 1st order phase difference as the branch metrics by using the multiple symbol detection method. TCM method was developed to overcome limited power and bandwidth efficiently in digital communication. we multiply one of convolution code's output data to PN code for applying TCM to the spread spectrum. We investigated the performance of the direct sequence/spread spectrum communication system with trellis coded modulation. In this system, we could improved the coding gain in the spread spectrum.

This paper reports on the development of a DPSK demodulator of DS spread spectrum communications that use one SAW convolver. The spreading code chip pattern is changed from bit to bit in data portion of packet. And code chip is PSK modulated. Compared with simulation, experiment shows that the DPSK signal spreaded can be demodulated by using only one SAW convolver. And the theoretical performance of this DPSK demudulator is equal to CSK demodulator wich uses two SAW convolvers.
