Advantages of DSSS | disadvantages of DSSS
This page covers advantages and disadvantages of DSSS. It mentions DSSS advantages or benefits and DSSS disadvantages or drawbacks. It also describes DSSS basics.
What is DSSS?
Introduction:
• The term DSSS is the short form of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum.
• In this technique, information bits are modulated using PN codes as
shown by PRS (Pseudonoise Random Sequence) generator.
• PN code has shorter duration compare to information bits and hence
modulated spectrum occupies larger bandwidth.
• Information bits are spread across both time and frequency planes.
• DSSS delivers capacity of about 11 Mbps.
• It is very sensitive technology.
• It is used for point to point scenario.

Benefits or advantages of DSSS
Following are the benefits or advantages of DSSS:
➨It uses both time and frequency planes for transmission of
information bits, effect of interference and fading can be minimized to great extent.
➨It can be employed in point to point applications at the rate of 11 Mbps.
➨It supports higher coverage range due to low SNR requirement at receiver.
Drawbacks or disadvantages of DSSS
Following are the disadvantages of DSSS:
➨It is very sensitive technology in the presence of harsh environments such as
collocated cells, larger coverage areas, multipath and in the presence of
frequencies used for bluetooth network. This is due to the fact that it operates at narrow
bandwidth.
➨The system is prone to errors at lower level than FHSS.
