Abstract
Based on the M-ary spread spectrum (M-ary-SS), direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS), and orthogonal frequency division
multiplex (OFDM), a novel anti-jamming scheme, named orthogonal code time division multi-subchannels spread spectrum modulation
(OC-TDMSCSSM), is proposed to enhance the anti-jamming ability of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data link. The anti-jamming
system with its mathematical model is presented first, and then the signal formats of transmitter and receiver are derived. The receiver’s
bit error rate (BER) is demonstrated and anti-jamming performance analysis is carried out in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)
channel. Theoretical research and simulation results show the anti-jamming performance of the proposed scheme better than that of the
hybrid direct sequence frequency hopping spread spectrum (DS/FH SS) system. The jamming margin of the OC-TDMSCSSM system is
5 dB higher than that of DS/FH SS system under the condition of Rician channel and full-band jamming, and 6 dB higher under the
condition of Rician channel environment and partial-band jamming.
