In the picture below the blue line is the signal before the spreading, and the red is after the spreading. the black one is the noise that the signal has "hidden" behind.]]> 2017-01-27 13:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/legomastereliott1/bzniz8w91kd7/wish/149870659 legomastereliott1 https://padlet.com/legomastereliott1/bzniz8w91kd7/wish/149873185 The idea behind frequency hopping is that the signal stays narrow, but the signal is changing while still remaining narrow, and it “hops” around in a larger bandwidth.]]> 2017-01-27 14:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/legomastereliott1/bzniz8w91kd7/wish/149873185 legomastereliott1 https://padlet.com/legomastereliott1/bzniz8w91kd7/wish/149873786 Spread spectrum technology splits signals into packets and sends them across a range of different frequencies where the receiving end reconstructs them to form the message]]> 2017-01-27 14:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/legomastereliott1/bzniz8w91kd7/wish/149873786
