Closer look at a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signal
This article is going to take a closer look at the properties of a pseudo random bit sequence and a simple direct sequence spread spectrum signal both in the time- and frequency domain using the FFT capabilities of a Teledyne LeCroy WaveAce 1002. A while back, I posted an article about a Pseudorandom Number Generator […]
