Text to be Referred:

A. Communication Systems (4th Edition) by Simon Haykin Chapter -7

B. Wireless Communication (2nd Edition) by T. S. Rappaport Chapter-6 (Article Number: 6.11, 6.11.1, 6.11.2,
6.11.3, 6.11,4) and Chapter-7 Article7.11
C. Wireless Communication by Andrea Goldsmith Chapter-13

Sample Questions and Problems:

1. Explain the concept of spread spectrum system. In what way is it different from the conventional
modulation schemes.
2. Explain how does the RAKE receiver exploit the multi path properties of the mobile channel in a direct
sequence spread spectrum system.
3. Explain with the help of block diagram direct sequence spread spectrum.
4. Explain with the help of block diagram Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.
5. How is maximum length sequence (m-sequence) is generated. Enlist the properties of maximum length
sequence.
6. Practice Example 7.1 and 7.2 From the book “Communication Systems” (4th Edition) by Simon
Haykin.
7. Generate m-sequence using maximum length linear feedback shift register (LFSR) assuming initial
state 1000. Also, explain balanced and run length property for generated m-sequence. The feed back
to first register is the linear combination (X-OR) of outputs of last three stages of shift register. Further,
what is the use of generated m-sequence and why it is also known as PN sequence.
8. Explain RAKE receiver.
9. What are the advantages of frequency hopping spread spectrum over Direct sequence spread spectrum.
10. Define the terms: processing gain and Jamming margin.
11. Practice Example 7.3 From the book “Communication Systems” (4th Edition) by Simon Haykin.
12. Discuss following spreading codes for multiuser DSSS:
a. Gold Codes
b. Kasami code
c. Walsh Hadamard Code
13. Compare Slow hopping and Fast hopping techniques of FHSS.
14. Practice following problems from Exercise of Chapter 7 from the book “Communication Systems”
(4th Edition) by Simon Haykin.
7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.8, 7.9, 7.12, 7.13.
15. Practice following problems from Exercise of Chapter 6 from the book “Wireless Communications”
(2nd Edition) by Theodore S. Rappaport.
6.22, 6.23, 6.24, 6.25 & 6.39 (already done in class in Unit -I)
