What is Spread Spectrum Signaling/Modulation?
The term ‘spread spectrum’ covers a general method of transmission, where transmit and receive frequencies are constantly changing or ‘hopping’ through various channels. This method was devised as a means to allow many devices to effectively share a bandwidth. There are several classifications allowed by the FCC to cover different devices and applications, these classifications also govern both the RF power and antenna systems that may be used. These classifications all use the generic term ’spread spectrum’ as a transmission method.
