Question A-005-009-007

Why is it difficult to monitor a spread spectrum transmission?

Correct Answer

Your receiver must be frequency-synchronized to the transmitter

Explanation

To demodulate a spread spectrum signal, the receiver must know and be synchronized to the same pseudorandom code used by the transmitter to spread the signal. Without this, the signal appears as wideband noise.
