Models for Frequency-Hopped Spread-Spectrum Communications over Fading Channels.

摘要

The system consisting of the series connection of a frequency-hopper, channel, and frequency-dehopper is modeled as a fading channel. The effect of a detuning factor between the hopping patterns of the hopper and dehopper is investigated. Both slow-frequency-hopped and fast-frequency-hopped systems are studied for cases when the fading channel is nonselective and selective. The ability of the frequency-hopped system to overcome frequency-selective fading is considered. Limits are found on the spacing between frequency slots in order that the fading in different slots is independent. (Author)
