A communications system that pseudo-randomly dithers the widths of chips that are multiplied by bit symbols for spread spectrum purposes. The system includes a first random sequence generator that generates a first sequence of random numbers at a sample rate and a decision processor responsive to the first sequence of random numbers that generates a separate command at the sample rate each time one of the random numbers exceeds a predetermined threshold. The system further includes a second random sequence generator that generates select random numbers, where the second random number generator changes the select random number each time it receives one of the commands. The system also includes a chip width processor responsive to the random numbers from the second random sequence generator, where the chip width processor selects a new set of chips each having a certain width in response to receiving each random number.

No: 16/777501 Application Filed: January 30, 2020 Assignees: NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION (Falls Church, VA, US) Claim: 1. A communications system comprising: a mapper that converts a series of information bits to a series of bit symbols; a spread spectrum processor that multiplies the series of bit symbols by a sequence of chips, where a width of a chip determines the number of samples in the chip depending on where the samples occur within the chip; a first random sequence generator that generates a first sequence of decision random numbers at a sample rate; a decision processor responsive to the first sequence of decision random numbers and generating a separate command at the sample rate each time one of the decision random numbers exceeds a predetermined threshold; a second random sequence generator generating a select random number and being responsive to the commands, said second random sequence generator changing the select random number each time it receives one of the commands; and a chip width processor responsive to the select random numbers from the second random sequence generator, said chip width processor selecting at least one new chip having a width depending on the value of the select random number, where the new chip is provided to the spread spectrum processor to be multiplied by the series of bit symbols. Claim: 2. The system according to claim 1 wherein the chip width processor selects a plurality of new chips each having a certain width as a set of chips in response to receiving each select random number. Claim: 3. The system according to claim 2 further comprising a permute processor that receives the set of chips from the chip width processor before the chips are sent to the spread spectrum processor, said permute processor changing the order of the chips in the set of chips. Claim: 4. The system according to claim 3 wherein the permute processor changes the order of the chips in the set of chips regardless of whether the chip width processor changes the set of chips. Claim: 5. The system according to claim 1 wherein the chip width processor selects the new chips from a pre-set library of chips. Claim: 6. The system according to claim 1 wherein the first random sequence generator is a pseudo noise random sequence generator. Claim: 7. The system according to claim 1 wherein the first sequence of decision random numbers are between 0 and 1. Claim: 8. The system according to claim 7 wherein the threshold is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. Claim: 9. A communications system comprising: a mapper that converts a series of information bits to a series of bit symbols; a spread spectrum processor that multiplies the series of bit symbols by a sequence of chips, where a width of a chip determines the number of samples in the chip depending on where the samples occur within the chip; a random sequence generator generating a select random number and being responsive to commands, said random sequence generator changing the random number each time it receives the command; a chip width processor responsive to the random numbers from the random sequence generator, said chip width processor generating a plurality of new chips each having a certain width as a set of chips in response to receiving each random number depending on the value of the random number, where the set of chips is provided to the spread spectrum processor to be multiplied by the series of bit symbols; and a permute processor responsive to the set of chips from the chip width processor and changing the order of the chips in the set of chips. Claim: 10. The system according to claim 9 wherein the permute processor changes the order of the chips in the set of chips regardless of whether the chip width processor changes the set of chips. Claim: 11. The system according to claim 9 wherein the chip width processor selects the new chips from a pre-set library of chips. Claim: 12. A method for providing spread spectrum transmission in a communications system, said method comprising: converting a series of information bits to a series of bit symbols; multiplying, by a spread spectrum processor, the series of bit symbols by a sequence of chips, where a width of a chip determines the number of samples in the chip depending on where the samples occur within the chip; generating a first sequence of decision random numbers at a sample rate; generating a separate command at the sample rate each time one of the decision random numbers exceeds a predetermined threshold; generating a select random number and changing the select random number each time one of the commands is generated; and selecting at least one new chip having a width depending on the value of the select random number, where the new chip is provided to the spread spectrum processor to be multiplied by the series of bit symbols. Claim: 13. The method according to claim 12 wherein selecting the at least one new chip includes selecting a plurality of new chips each having a certain width as a set of chips in response to receiving each select random number. Claim: 14. The method according to claim 13 further comprising changing the order of the chips in the set of chips. Claim: 15. The method according to claim 14 wherein changing the order of the chips in the set of chips includes changing the order of the chips in the set of chips regardless of whether the set of chips is changed. Claim: 16. The method according to claim 12 wherein selecting the at least one new chip includes selecting the new chips from a pre-set library of chips. Claim: 17. The method according to claim 12 wherein generating the sequence of decision random numbers includes generating a pseudo noise sequence of decision random numbers. Claim: 18. The method according to claim 12 wherein the sequence of decision random numbers are between 0 and 1. Claim: 19. The method according to claim 18 wherein the threshold is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. Claim: 20. The method according to claim 19 wherein the threshold is 0.5.
