Frequency-Hop Spread Spectrum Inthe typeof peead-specteum systems discussed in Section 74, the use ofa PN sequence to modulate a phase-shif-keyed signal achieves instantaneous spreading ofthe tansmis- sion bandwideh.

A common modulation formst for FH systems is that of Moar fequency-sift keying (MESK}, The combination of tha to techniques ie referred to simply ak FHIMESK, (A description of M-ary PSK is presente in Chapter 6) ‘Since frequency hopping does not cover the entire spread spectrum instantaneool, we are led to consider te rate at which the hops occur, In this context, we may iden to basi tchnology-indcpendent) characterization of frequency hopping: 1, Slow frequency hopping in which the symbol rate R, ofthe MFSK signal is annex ‘multiple ofthe bop rate Ry.
