Theory of Spread-Spectrum Communications - A Tutorial

Spread-spectrum communications, with its inherent interference attenuation capability, has over the years become an increasingly popular technique for use in many different systems. Applications range from antijam systems, to code division multiple access systems, to systems designed to combat multipath. It is the intention of this paper to provide a tutorial treatment of the theory of spread-spectrum communications, including a discussion on the applications referred to above, on the properties of common spreading sequences, and on techniques that can be used for acquisition and tracking.
