Koherensspridningstekniker, often translated as Coherent Spread Spectrum (CSS), are a family of radio frequency communication techniques that utilize a specific type of signal modulation. Unlike traditional spread spectrum methods that spread a signal over a wide frequency band by direct sequence or frequency hopping, CSS modulates the signal's phase and/or frequency in a way that creates a more concentrated spectral spread. This is achieved by using specially designed chirp waveforms, where the frequency changes linearly over time.

The primary advantage of CSS lies in its ability to offer robust communication in challenging radio environments. The chirp nature of the signal allows for effective discrimination against narrowband interference, as the receiver can uniquely identify the signal based on its specific frequency sweep. This makes CSS well-suited for applications where signal integrity is critical, even in the presence of noise or jamming. Furthermore, CSS techniques can achieve high data rates while maintaining good spectral efficiency.

Common applications for coherent spread spectrum include advanced wireless communication systems, such as those used in the Internet of Things (IoT), radar systems, and certain military communication platforms. The precise control over the signal's frequency and phase allows for sophisticated signal processing at the receiver, enabling features like precise ranging and improved signal-to-noise ratio. The development of CSS continues to evolve, with ongoing research focused on enhancing its performance and expanding its applicability to new communication challenges.
