A novel chip-interleaving DS SS system

This paper proposes a chip-interleaving direct-sequence (DS) spread-spectrum (SS) system. Its performance is analyzed under ON-OFF wide-band jamming, and closed-form bit error rate (BER) performances of two special cases of the system are obtained. The behavior of the system under tone interference is also studied. The average signal-to-noise ratio of the system is given as a function of tone interference frequency, and the system BER performance under harmonic tone jamming is then investigated. The system is compared with a conventional system using numerical examples.
