Question A-005-009-009

What is direct-sequence spread spectrum?

Correct Answer

The carrier is phase-shifted by a fast binary bit stream

Explanation

In DSSS, the narrowband data signal is multiplied by a high-speed pseudorandom binary sequence (chipping code). This product then phase-modulates the RF carrier, spreading its energy over a wide bandwidth.
