Editing Direct-sequence spread spectrum (section)

==Uses==
* The United States [[GPS]], European [[Galileo positioning system|Galileo]] and Russian [[GLONASS]] [[satellite navigation]] systems; earlier GLONASS used DSSS with a single spreading sequence in conjunction with [[FDMA]], while later GLONASS used DSSS to achieve [[CDMA]] with multiple spreading sequences.
* DS-CDMA (Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) is a [[multiple access]] scheme based on DSSS, by spreading the signals from/to different users with different codes.  It is the most widely used type of [[CDMA]].
* [[Cordless telephone|Cordless phones]] operating in the 900&nbsp;MHz, 2.4&nbsp;GHz and 5.8&nbsp;GHz [[Band (radio)|bands]]
* [[IEEE 802.11b]] 2.4&nbsp;GHz [[Wi-Fi]], and its predecessor [[802.11-1999]]. (Their successor [[802.11g]] uses both [[Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing|OFDM]] and DSSS)
* [[Automatic meter reading]]
* [[IEEE 802.15.4]] (used, e.g., as PHY and MAC layer for [[Zigbee]], or, as the physical layer for [[WirelessHART]])
* [[Radio-controlled model]] Automotive, Aeronautical and Marine vehicles
* Spread spectrum [[radar]] for covertness and resistance to [[Radar jamming and deception|jamming]] and [[Spoofing attack|spoofing]]
