Abstract A hybrid Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum ranging technique is analyzed and simulated in this research work. The DS/SS-CW ranging technique can be consid- ered as the combination of direct sequence spread spectrum ranging technique with the Continuous Wave (CW) ranging technique. The thesis illustrates the operation principle of the DS/SS-CW ranging. A theoretical analysis of the system perfor- mance is developed in terms of range detection, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and the attenuation of multipath signals. The analysis reveals that the DS/SS-CW tech- nique has the same benefits in jamrning and multipath rejection as a spread spectrum systern, and the carrier phase can still be employed to obtain more accurate range information. Cornputer simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of noise, multipath signals as well as the system bandwidth. The research work suggests that the DSISS-CW technique is of pract ical value in high precision ranging applications. Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. R.

Navigation of any kind generally provides answers to three questions [l]: Where am I? How do 1 get to where 1 want to go? When will 1 arrive? The subject of navigation has a romantic and scientific background alrnost as old as civilization itself, and the subject has been one of the major concerns and interests throughout the recorded history. It has received the attention from the greatest scientists as well as monarchs. Modern navigation is a curious mixture of ancient and modern techniques. The magnetic compass, still in widespread use, is nearly a thousand years old, and the modern equivalent is used throughout the world. By contrast, inertial technology, the basis for some of today's most effective navigation systems, is only decades old, as is computer and satellite technology. Navigation has been progressing for 700 to 800 years, and is not "mature" in any sense [l]. The first 90 percent of this long history was concerned principally with navigation at sea. Since the first flight of the Wright brothers, the demands of aerial navigation have resul ted in an acceleration of development in navigation. Today, navigation technology has penetrated almost every civil and mili tary application, such as space navigation, land vehicle navigation, aircraft navigation , trafic control and marine navigation. The real milestone of today's art and science of navigation is the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS). Since

  • On Cracking Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Systems †
    WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE COMPUTING Wirel. Commun. Mob. Comput. 00: 1–15 (2008) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/wcm.0000 On Cracking Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Systems y Youngho Jo and Dapeng Wu¤ Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, 32611, U.S.A. Summary Secure transmission of information over hostile wireless environments is desired by both military and civilian parties. Direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) is such a covert technique resistant to interference, interception and multipath fading. Identifying spread-spectrum signals or cracking DS-SS systems by an unintended receiver (or eavesdropper) without a priori knowledge is a challenging problem. To address this problem, we first search for the start position of data symbols in the spread signal (for symbol synchronization); our method is based on maximizing the spectral norm of a sample covariance matrix, which achieves smaller estimation error than the existing method of maximizing the Frobenius norm. After synchronization, we remove a spread sequence by a cross-correlation based method, and identify the spread sequence by a matched filter. The proposed identification method is less expensive and more accurate than the existing methods. We also propose a zigzag searching method to identify a generator polynomial that reduces memory requirement and is capable of correcting polarity errors existing in the previous methods. In addition, we analyze the bit error performance of our proposed method. The simulation results agree well with our analytical results, indicating the accuracy of our analysis in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.

  • Avoiding Interference in the 2
    Avoiding Interference in the 2.4-GHz ISM Band Designers can create frequency-agile 2.4 GHz designs using procedures provided by standards bodies or by building their own protocol. By Ryan Winfield Woodings and Mark Gerrior, Cypress Semiconductor As more and more companies produce products that use the 2.4-GHz portion of the radio spectrum, designers have had to deal with increased signals from other sources. Regulations governing unlicensed parts of the spectrum state that your device must expect interference. How can designers get the best performance out of their 2.4-GHz solution under these hostile conditions? Often the product works in a controlled lab environment but then suffers performance degradation from the storm of interference from other 2.4GHz solutions in the field. With existing standards like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee there is little that can be done beyond what the architects of the standard provide. But when the designer controls the protocol there are procedures that will minimize the interference from other sources. In this article,we'll examine the various interference management techniques provided by 2.4 GHz wireless systems. We'll then show how low-level tools can be used to create frequency-stability in a 2.4 GHz design. Wi-Fi The two methods for radio frequency modulation in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band are frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) and direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). Bluetooth uses FHSS while WirelessUSB, 802.11b/g/a (commonly known as Wi-Fi), and 802.15.4 (known as ZigBee when combined with the upper networking layers) use DSSS.

  • Pseudorandom Noise Code-Based Technique for Cloud and Aerosol Discrimination Applications
    Pseudorandom noise code-based technique for cloud and aerosol discrimination applications Joel Campbell, Narasimha S. Prasad, Michael Flood, Wallace Harrison NASA Langley Research Center, 5 N. Dryden St., Hampton, VA 23681 Abstract NASA Langley Research Center is working on a continuous wave (CW) laser based remote sensing scheme for the detection of CO2 and O2 from space based platforms suitable for ACTIVE SENSING OF CO2 EMISSIONS OVER NIGHTS, DAYS, AND SEASONS (ASCENDS) mission. ASCENDS is a future space-based mission to determine the global distribution of sources and sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). A unique, multi-frequency, intensity modulated CW (IMCW) laser absorption spectrometer (LAS) operating at 1.57 micron for CO2 sensing has been developed. Effective aerosol and cloud discrimination techniques are being investigated in order to determine concentration values with accuracies less than 0.3%. In this paper, we discuss the demonstration of a PN code based technique for cloud and aerosol discrimination applications. The possibility of using maximum length (ML)-sequences for range and absorption measurements is investigated. A simple model for accomplishing this objective is formulated, Proof-of-concept experiments carried out using SONAR based LIDAR simulator that was built using simple audio hardware provided promising results for extension into optical wavelengths. Keywords: ASCENDS, CO2 sensing, O2 sensing, PN codes, CW lidar 1. INTRODUCTION The National Research Council’s (NRC) Decadal Survey (DS) of Earth Science and Applications from Space has identified the Active Sensing of CO2 Emissions over Nights, Days, and Seasons (ASCENDS) as an important Tier II space-based atmospheric science mission. The CO2 mixing ratio needs to be measured to a precision of 0.5 percent of background or better (slightly less than 2 ppm) at 100-km horizontal resolution overland and 200-km resolution over oceans.

  • Navigation Using Pseudolites, Beacons, and Signals of Opportunity
    Navigation Using Pseudolites, Beacons, and Signals of Opportunity John F. Raquet Air Force Institute of Technology AFIT/ENG, 2950 Hobson Way WPAFB, OH 45431 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper describes the use of RF signals for navigation, using signals designed for this purpose (pseudolites and beacons) as well as signals that are not intended for navigation (signals of opportunity). Advantages and disadvantages of each system type are presented. Common challenges faced, as well as solutions, for these types of systems are covered, including the near/far problem, measurement types, TDOA measurement formation, positioning algorithms, ambiguity resolution, and multipath. Additionally, some of the unique challenges of navigating using signals of opportunity are described. Examples of navigation using pseudolites, beacons, and signals of opportunity are be presented. The opportunities and challenges of these types of systems for a military environment are also described. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Over the past couple of decades, there have been a number of trends that have driven the desire to improve our ability to navigate in all environments. Previously, the primary desire was to navigate single, stand-alone systems (such as a car), but now, the desire is increasingly to have simultaneous navigation awareness of multiple interdependent systems (such as a traffic notification system in a car). Previously, navigation capability could not always be counted on, but increasingly navigation is considered to be an assumed infrastructure (like knowing the lights will come on when you turn on the light switch). Previously, navigation accuracy of 5-10 m seemed almost extravagant when other worldwide navigation options prior to GPS (namely, Omega [1] and stand-alone inertial) had accuracies more on the order of 1-2 km.
