A Computer Program to Analyze Spread-Spectrum System Performance.

Abstract

A computer program has been developed which analyzes and compares the performance of certain types of frequency hopping and pseudonoise (sometimes called 'direct sequence') spread-spectrum communication systems in the presence of hostile jamming. The program computes the probability of bit or word error as a function of the communication signal parameters (spectrum spreading methods, error-correcting coding, data modulation, bandwidth, etc) and the jamming parameters (jamming modulation, power, bandwidth). The output consists mainly of plots of error probability as a function of one or more of these parameters selected by the user. The plots are produced on an interactive computer graphics terminal, providing rapidly produced results and high user-computer interaction. (Author)
