SHORT ANSWER

1. What does Hartley’s Law tell us about the relationship between time and bandwidth for digital transmission?

View Answer:

Answer: The more bandwidth, the less time it takes to send a given amount of information. So the more bandwidth available, the higher the possible bit rate.

Solution:

2. How many signals could fit into 1 MHz of bandwidth if each signal required 100 kHz of bandwidth and the separation between adjacent channels was 10 kHz?

View Answer:

Answer: 9

Solution:

3. Why is it difficult to jam a spread-spectrum signal?

View Answer:

Answer: Jamming requires an interference signal of sufficient power in the same part of the spectrum the information signal occupies. Because a spread-spectrum signal is, by definition, spread out over a very wide bandwidth, jamming can interfere with only a small fraction of the total signal.

Solution:

4. Why is it difficult to eavesdrop on a spread-spectrum signal?

View Answer:

Answer: In a spread-spectrum transmission, the signal power at any given frequency in its band is so low that it is virtually indistinguishable from noise. An eavesdropper would not know a signal was being sent. And without knowing the exact sequence being used, it is virtually impossible to “de-spread” the signal.

Solution:

5. Why is autocorrelation used to receive direct-sequence spread-spectrum signals?

View Answer:

Answer: Autocorrelation allows a signal to be “pulled out of” the noise even when the signal-to-noise ratio is less than one, as it is in spread-spectrum.

Solution:

6. What is meant by “orthogonal sequences” in CDMA?

View Answer:

Answer: During transmission, the PN sequences determine which parts of the available bandwidth the spread spectrum signal will occupy. Assume you have two PN sequences: PN1 and PN2. At some point in time, suppose PN1 would cause a transmission to occupy frequencies f11, f12, f13, and so forth. Now suppose PN2 would cause the transmission to occupy frequencies f21, f22, f23, and so forth. If the two sets of frequencies, (f11, f12, f13, …) and (f21, f22, f23, …), have no frequencies in common, then the two PN sequences are said to be orthogonal.
