Q1. (a) Draw the transmitter and receiver block diagram for a Frequency Hop spread spectrum

system and explain its operation. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this form

of spread spectrum communication. Determine the transmission bandwidth process

gain for a fast hop system in terms of the FH_SS parameters.

(b) A Frequency Hop spread spectrum system employs a fast hop with

k = 10 hops per message bit

M = 1024 frequencies

Message bit rate =2.5 kBPS

Final RF multiplication =

Determine (i) the RF signal bandwidth, (ii) Processing gain in dB, pN Code generator

clock rate and (iv) the frequency separation in kHz.

(c) Explain the parallel method of receiver code search used in a frequency hopping

acquisition scheme and its advantages.

Q2. (a) A pseudonoise (pN) code generator produces a 63-bit sequence at a clock rate of

20MHz. What is the equation and graphical form of the autocorrelation function (ACF)

of the sequence assuming that the pulses have values ยฑ2 volt. Comment on the shape of

the ACF and the line density of the PSD in terms of the pN sequence length and clock

rate (10 %)

(b) The data sequence x(t), given by 100110001, is fed to the DS/BPSK spread spectrum

transmitter in Fig Q2-(a) at a rate of 75 BPS with the leftmost bit first.
