  • the present invention exploits the quasi-discrete nature of the transmitters' spectra and employs an improved form of Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) . It was recognised in PCT Patent Application No. PCT/AU87/00020 that a novel form of FDMA could be employed with spread-spectrum signals to achieve a saving of bandwidth by interleaving spread-spectrum signals. It is now recognised that even greater efficiencies can be achieved by interleaving not only spread-spectrum signals, but also other communications channels which tend to be equally spaced across a band of the spectrum. Examples of this are broadcast radio and cellular telephone systems which generally have a number of transmitters using a number of channels which are substantially equally spaced across the band.
  • FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access
  • centre and modulation frequencies of one or more spread-spectrum signals can be made to occupy the inter-channel guard bands of the other communications signals thereby providing a new service, in a frequency band which is already in use, without detrimental effect to the existing services in that band.
  • FIG. 2 shows details of the spectrum emitted by a transmitter using a maximal PN code of length N to direct- sequence bi-phase modulate a carrier on a frequency f .
  • this signal is emitted from a mobile vehicle in an urban area it undergoes Rayleigh scattering and Doppler frequency-shift as the radio waves propagate by a multitude of paths to the receiver.
  • Each line in the spectrum of the received signal exhibits random frequency modulation (as.described above) with most of the energy of the line being contained within a bandwidth of twice the maximum Doppler frequency-shift.
  • the final local oscillator can be direct- sequence modulated with the same PN code as used in the transmitter, the local epoch of the code being adjusted until it matches that of the incoming code.
  • the energy contained in all the spectral lines of the received signal is concentrated essentially into the bandwidth 2 f centered on the final intermediate frequency.
  • the spectrum is collapsed or 'despread' and the process gain is achieved. From the foregoing it is clear that the bandwidth of the final IF must be wide enough to accommodate the collapsed spectral energy. Allowing for an uncertainty + Sf in the carrier frequency of the transmitter, the final IF bandwidth should not be less than 2( ⁇ f + ⁇ £f).
  • the radiated spread-spectrum signal from each transmitter occupies a relatively wide bandwidth B (typically of the order of 1MHz).
  • B typically of the order of 1MHz.
  • M transmitters are operating simultaneously, as in a multi-vehicle tracking system, the use of FDMA would suggest a bandwidth requirement of at least M x B for the system as a whole.
  • the radio-frequency spectrum is viewed as a scarce resource much in demand. Consequently, the use of a bandwidth M x B is likely to be considered extravagent.
  • the present invention offers an acceptable answer to these objections without the degradation in process gain associated with CDMA.
  • the present invention uses the fact that although the bandwidth of the signal received from each transmitter is very wide, it has a quasi-discrete line spectrum arranged symmetrically about the carrier. If the spacing between the 'lines' is made large compared to the frequency band each one occupies and if the same spacing is used for all transmitters, it is possible to interleave these 'lines' (or bands) with conventional communications channels. Several of these spread-spectrum channels may be located in the inter-channel guard bands of the conventional communications channels by interleaving the spread-spectrum signals with each other. This is achieved by offsetting the centre frequencies of all the transmitters by relatively small amounts in the following way:
  • a typical, conventional, narrowband communications system will have available a multiplicity of discrete channels each of which occupies bandwidth F , , evenly-spaced within the band with separation of centre
  • the unoccupied region between channels, or guard band is
  • a single or multi-channel spread-spectrum system is implemented, where the band of frequencies occupied by the spread-spectrum system is shared with conventional services, but the spectral lines of the spread-spectrum signals lie within the guard bands between channels of the conventional system. Interference with the conventional radio system channels by the spread-spectrum signals can be maintained within acceptable limits by limiting the power in the spectral lines of the spread-spectrum signals to a level comparable with that allowed from the adjacent narrowband channel. The process gain available by the use of spread-spectrum techniques can enable interference to the spread-spectrum system by the conventional system to be maintained within acceptable limits.
  • the potential number of simultaneous transmissions be M for a system comprising only spread-spectrum signal transmissions. If all of the transmitters have centre-frequency offsets which are multiples of f p P/M where P is a non-zero integer such that P and M have no common factors then the i channel has a centre frequency offset
  • the spectral lines of the spread-spectrum system can be made to fall within the guard bands between adjacent channels of the conventional system. This is depicted in Fig. 3 where item 15 denotes a channel of a conventional communications system and item 16 denotes a spectral line of a spread-spectrum signal. It will be appreciated that in such a system the actual number of channels available
  • SUBSTITUTE S ⁇ EET will be significantly less than M because of the bandwidth requirements of the narrowband communications channels.
  • Equation 3 can be developed as follows: Let the selected spacing between spectral 'lines ' of the composite spread-spectrum signal be f_ , the code repetition frequency be f R and the channel spacing of the conventional communication system be- F , with a channel occupied bandwidth F .. Firstly, we select f R to be an integer multiple of

When this occurs, the spectrum of this signal collapses to the relatively narrow band of frequencies (determined by the Doppler frequency-shift and transmitter crystal-oscillator uncertainty as discussed above) all centred on F .
  • This narrowband signal appears at the output of the second mixer 45 and passes through the narrowband filter 49 to the detector and microcontroller block 46 which detects the signal and maintains a match between the incoming and locally- generated code epoch by appropriate advance/retard adjustment of the locally-generated code.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de transmission à spectre étendu dans lequel un ou plusieurs signaux à spectre étendu occupent la même bande de fréquences qu'un groupe de canaux de communication classiques espacés régulièrement, l'espacement en lignes spectrales des signaux à spectre étendu étant sélectionné pour correspondre à l'espacement intercanaux du groupe de canaux de communications, de sorte que les composantes spectrales des signaux à spectre étendus tombent dans les bandes de garde intercanaux des canaux de communications. Si l'on utilise plus d'un canal à spectre étendu, ils sont multiplexés par division des fréquences par décalage des fréquences centrales ou porteuses des signaux à spectres étendus par une fraction de l'espacement en lignes spectrales des signaux. Les signaux sont produits par modulation d'une porteuse à l'aide d'un signal de code de pseudo-bruit (PB). On procède au démultiplexage par production du même code PB dans un générateur de codes (47), et par mélange du code PB avec le signal reçu dans un mélangeur (45). L'époque du code produit par le générateur (47) est ensuite avancée ou retardée en réponse à un signal de commande d'époque (48) émis par un contrôleur (46). On passe le signal mélangé dans un filtre à bande étroite (49) afin de sélectionner le signal de la bande de base lequel est ensuite transmis au contrôleur (46) afin de permettre l'émission du signal de commande d'époque (48). Lorsqu'on l'applique à un système de poursuite de véhicules, on utilise la relation entre l'époque du code de bruit et du signal de référence (50) afin d'indiquer la temporisation de la propagation relative, une fois obtenue la corrélation avec le signal reçu. On peut utiliser les informations de temporisation, lorsqu'on les combine avec des informations provenant de récepteurs se trouvant à d'autres emplacements, afin de calculer la position de l'émetteur.
