 Transceiver employing direct sequence spread spectrum techniques - Patent 4979183
Since a direct sequence spread spectrum receiver does not readily distinguish between signal and noise, and, in particular, since the incoming signal is a data modulated carrier that is spread by a pseudonoise sequence, synchronization between the transmitter and receiver is often troublesome.
The transceiver employs direct sequence spread spectrum communications techniques for reducing interference among multiple users in a communications network environment.
Spread spectrum provide a means for communicating by purposely spreading the spectrum of the communications signal well beyond the bandwidth of the unspread signal.

 Spread spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spread-spectrum telecommunications is a signal structuring technique that employs direct sequence, frequency hopping or a hybrid of these, which can be used for multiple access and/or multiple functions.
Frequency hopping (FHSS), direct sequence (DSSS), PN spreading(using PN_Sequences), time scrambling, chirp, and combinations of these techniques are forms of spread spectrum.
Spread spectrum generally makes use of a sequential noise-like signal structure to spread the normally narrowband information signal over a relatively wide band of frequencies.

 Spread Spectrum Tools & Resources - Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Generators
In a direct-sequence spread spectrum transmitter, the digital data stream to be transmitted is multiplied by a PN sequence running at a much higher clock rate, or chip rate, than the baud rate of the data.
So, in direct sequence applications, the data stream to be transmitted is input to the generator, and the output of the generator drives a double-balance mixer to upconvert the spread signal to some specified RF frequency.
One useful feature found in many spread spectrum generators is the ability to momentarily turn off either the PN sequence, the data stream, or both with a quick press of a button.

 Direct-sequence spread spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast, frequency-hopping spread spectrum pseudo-randomly retunes the carrier, instead of adding pseudo-random noise to the data, which results in a uniform frequency distribution whose width is determined by the output range of the pseudo-random number generator.
A system (a) for generating spread-spectrum transmissions by phase-modulating a sine wave pseudorandomly with a continuous string of pseudonoise code symbols, each of duration much smaller than a bit and (b) that may be time-gated, where the transmitter is keyed periodically or randomly within a specified time interval.

 PANSAT - Spread Spectrum Overview
With Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), the modulated carrier is expanded to the extent that it occupies a bandwidth that is much greater than the information bandwidth of the signal.
Spread spectrum modulation provides the advantages of low probability-of-intercept (LPI), low probability-of-detection (LPD), resistance to jamming and low probability-of-interference (to and from other users in the band) [Ref. 1].
This is accomplished by multiplying the information signal by a pseudo-noise (PN) spreading sequence which has a bit rate that is significantly greater than the information data rate.

 USS Clueless - Direct sequence spread spectrum
But the ultimate spreading pattern for each sector for the paging channel is different because the short code phase assigned to that sector is different.
The signal in DSS is scrambled using what's known as "pseudo-noise", or PN, which is a carefully crafted sequence of bits known to both transmitter and receiver, and because of how the receiver works, it will very strongly reject anything which is not encoded with exactly the right PN sequence.
This is important for CDMA because each phone operating on a given frequency looks like a jammer to all the others, but each phone uses a different PN sequence, so the ability to ignore any PN sequence except the one intended for you makes it so that your call will still get through to you.

 What is FHSS? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
FHSS is one of two types of spread spectrum radio, the other being direct-sequence spread spectrum.
This technique reduces interference because a signal from a narrowband system will only affect the spread spectrum signal if both are transmitting at the same frequency at the same time.
FHSS is a transmission technology used in LAWN transmissions where the data signal is modulated with a narrowband carrier signal that "hops" in a random but predictable sequence from frequency to frequency as a function of time over a wide band of frequencies.

 Frequency Hopping vs Direct Sequence
In DSSS systems, the spreading code is a sequence of bits (known as chips), and the first modulation step is a XOR operation executed between the message and the spreading code (process known as "chipping").
The effect of redundancy is that Spread Spectrum systems present a high resistance to noises and interference, being able to recover their messages even if noises are present on the medium.
On condition that the sequences used are highly distinguishable one from the other one (property known as orthogonality) each receiver will be able to "read" only the information dedicated to it (receiver and transmitter use same spreading code).
