Frequency hopping is a foremost type of spread spectrum technology that has many advantages. Particularly, frequency hopping is a well-known technique for combating narrow-band interference, jamming and multipath with inherent security and selective addressing capabilities. Therefore, it is increasingly utilized in the license-free Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band.
Owing these enormous consequences of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), we develop a generic FHSS transceiver that can be employed in many applications such as Cellular Mobile, Bluetooth Personal Area Networks (PAN), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems and Radar systems. In order to implement such generic transceiver we utilize one of the most powerful modern implementation techniques namely; the Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The performance of our proposed FHSS transceiver is evaluated via the BER calculation.
