In this paper we discuss narrow-band interference rejection schemes for spectrum overlay communications where direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) communication system and narrow-band communication systems share the same frequency band. In this case, it is essential to reject the narrow-band signals to guarantee the performance of DS/SS system, while it is not necessarily required to reject the DS/SS signal to recover the narrow-band signal. We discuss several schemes such as time domain processing, frequency domain processing and exploiting the device characteristics to reduce the effect of narrow-band signal on DS/SS communication systems. Furthermore, we suggest a structure of tunable notch filter using gyrator that can easily be customized to ASIC.

The DS-SS (Direct Sequence Spread Spec1nun) transmitter is part of a low data rate (∼150 kbps - burst rate and 64 bps - average data rate) wireless communication system. It is traditionally implemented using Digital Signal processing chip (DSP). However, with rapid increase in variety of services through cell phones, such as, web access, video transfer, online games etc. demand for higher rate is increasing steadily. Since the chip rate and thereby the sampling rate requirements of the system are fairly high, the transmitter should implemented using Field programmable Gate Arrays FPGAs instead of a DSP. This paper shows the steps taken to get a working prototype of the transmitter unit on a FPGA based platform.

In spite of many advantages of Meteor Burst Communications(MBC) on its transmission channel, the fact that its duty rate is less than10 percents is a considerable deficiency of MBC. To overcome with this deficiency without paying large cost, we use a direct sequence(DS)-spread spectrum(SS) method applying a reference code to improve the duty rate on the transmission channel. This method doesn't need to add the components for acquisition or tracking the signal so that it keeps the cost efficiency the MBC has as well as improves the duty rate on the transmission channel. The improvement by this method is more significant when the received signal is weak. Simulation results show that if we increases the process gain (Gp) by 10 dB when the average burst length is 50ms, the burst length tends to be extended more than 220% of its average length, 160ms, and the frequency of generating this phenomenon increases 3.1 times more.

In the defence wireless communications, conventional Anti-Jamming techniques(Frequency Hopping/Spread Spectrum or Direct Sequence/Spread Spectrum) are used to overcome a intentional interfering signals which are single/multitone or partial band jammer etc. DS/SS techniques is very strong on tone jamming signal but not to be on a partial band jammer. So FH/SS AJ performances are expected method of an substitution of DS/SS, however FH/SS could not have good performance on some BMTJ(Band Multi-tone Jammer). So this paper proposes FH-CSS (Frequency Hopped - Chirp Spread Spectrum) to get more robustness against jammers(BMTJ, PBNJ) and analyze the AJ performances.

The power line communication channel has characteristic variation problems which are caused by load. The spread spectrum technique has been used to overcome these problems. One of that is the direct sequence spread spectrum(DS/SS) system which is not necessary to additional hardwares. The BER of DS/SS system is decreased by longer length of PN code, but data transfer rate is decreases, so data transfer rate is hard to satisfies their own specifications especially in narrowband PLC systems. Spread Spectrum system with Dual-processing Gain tries to reflect cyclic characteristics of power line noise. But that system assumes that shapes of power line channel are symmetrical with respect to the 1/4 point of main frequency(60Hz in Korea), therefore cannot achieves various shapes of real power line noise. Thus in this paper, noise adaptive DS/SS system which PN code is changed by noise levels for various channel noises is proposed and simulated. The different kinds of noises are modeled and measured for simulation, the proposed system is verified that has lower data transfer rate and lower error rate than conventional system by simulation results.

The existing mobile communication system called DS/CDMA system, which is serviced widely nowadays, has some problems such as the severe ISI and multiple access interferences under the multi-path fading channel when applied to high-speed data transmission like multimedia transmission. To compensate these problems, we propose a sub-code multi-code hybrid DS/FH (Frequency Hopping) SS (Spread Spectrum) System by combining the multi-code system that restrains the multiple access interference with the hybrid DS/FH SS technique that reduces ISI(Intersymbol Interference) effect for high-speed transmission. Moreover, we implement and propose the sub-code technique to remedy the problems of the generic multi-code system. To verify the performance of the proposed system, the computer simulations are executed under the various channel environments.

The pattern recognition of automobile and parking line for the automatic car parking system was processed based on statistical method for reducing the processing time. The command of driving for parking at the vacant parking lot was transmitted from processor to motor driven actuator using direct sequence spread spectrum communication, which enables the multiple transmission in CAN(controller area network). The test-bed which has CCD camera, processor, radio transceiver and FPGA was implemented and demonstrated to be operated well.

In this paper, we modelized the multipath fading to Nakagami-m distribution fading channel which can be applied to the extended mobile communication channel environment. We assumed that the phase difference with reference signal happened in the received signal and in the receiver PLL(Phase Locked Loop) is the phase error. To correct the error we propose new RAKE receiver using PLL. In addition, we analyze the performance of DS/SS(Direct Sequence/spread Spectrum) system according to the gain of PLL,$\gamma_n$, the number of RAKE receiver branch L and MIP(Multipath Intensity Profile)'s exponential decay $\delta$. As a result, when the proposed RAKE receiver L Is increased and the $\delta$ is decreased the performance of the system gets better. Futhermore when PLL gain was 30dB, phase is identified. That is when the PLL gain is 30dB, the performance equals with the perfect coherent system's. Therefore, we can correct the phase error by using the proposed RAKE receiver and we proved that the PLL's requested limit gain should be 30dB.

This study has been experimented the characteristics of synchronous oscillator for clock recovery of Direct Sequence/Spread Spectrum(DS/SS) communication. When external wave is not provided, The Synchronous Oscillator(SO) oscillates at its natural frequency. As soon as external signal is applied, the SO starts tracking the external frequency which can be sinusoidal, pulsed or some other waveform. Thus, the output is synchronized with the range of wide tracking bandwidth to the external frequency Specifically, the SO also posses frequency division and multiplication capability. All of these indicate that the SO can overcome difficulties to get synchronization in coherent digital communication systems. We make a practical application of DS/SS communication with study on the synchronous properties of SO. As the result, we have a good performance.
