System design and simulation of a PSSS based mixed signal transceiver for a 20 Gbps bandwidth limited communication link

Parallel Sequence Spread Spectrum (PSSS) is a physical layer baseband technology wherein parallel data streams are transmitted simultaneously by spreading them using orthogonal codes. PSSS was selected for the wireless sensor network standard IEEE802.15.4-2006 to increase data rate and improve performance in fading channels for frequency bands below 1 GHz. Since then it has gained interest for both wireless and wired communication links.
