Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Modulation scheme for DSSS

[Henry Barton]

Thanks, Ed. I figured the PSK’s would work. Do you think the +1/-1 codes used in CDMA have anything to do with PSK? If I could somehow send them into a coil as voltages at a high rate, would it make an intelligible signal? I’m guessing it wouldn’t, which leads me to believe that the +1/-1 codes are just for demonstration purposes and in reality you just transmit your spreaded (repeated and XOR-ed bits) as ordinary PSK.

NASA successfully uses BPSK, QPSK and OQPSK (offset QPSK)
with CDMA DSSS on its TDRS satellites.  For historical reasons,
they don't use differential coding, but it makes the demod much
harder.
